Credit where it's due, good work . Everytime I see things like this, I always think, if only I could ..... There was a comment earlier on about doing the bike brown, which was met with some "difference of opinion" I'll put a few pics of my Dads bike on shortly, it's brown, and see what people think. It's like everything else, depends what you put with it.

cant resist putting more pics up lol so here is a pic of my stainless clutch cable adjuster, came in the post today, good old ebay.

only other thing i did today was order my 45t rear sprocket and
clean up the sprocket carrier and replace the bearing.

just need to pack it full of grease and put the dust seal back.

waiting for me chain and sprockets to turn up really.

Mark.

right well update time but no pics im afraid.
dropping my tank , front mudguard, and side panels off to be painted 2morrow so should be back in a week or two im hoping.
then i can order my speedo and she is more or less finished.
still waiting for dog bones to turn up, polishers should be done with them 2morrow so hopefully get them by the end of the week.
then i can tell if i can use my rear shock, otherwise might have to swap it.

oh and bought this at the weekend too.

told myself i wouldent start it till the bandit was finished but i couldent resist.
anyone know where you can get kwak pars online (like robinsons?)

something along these lines anyway, already taken the front end off.
wiring loom will be fun lol

[dick65 0]

i like it offset headlights unusual,plenty of ideas there though for starters.

[pugeyed 0]

Well stainless dog bones turned up today and confired my worst nightmare.
shock doesnt fit as the reservoir hits the brace on the swingarm, so had to take the back end all apart again 2nite.
gsxr shock on ebay and looking for a 1200 one or one with a remote reservoir.
these things are sent to try us

[RichardH 0]

Well if anyone can sort it, I'm sure you can Keep posting the piccies, this is fascinating

[lee1 1]

hope ya get the shock sorted,that kwak will make a nice bike mark

[pugeyed 0]

well sold the gsxr shock and been looking at different shocks on evil bay.
ended up going for a hayabusa shock, the reservoir is at a completly different angle to the gsxr one so im hoping it will fit.
if not ill sell it and go for a 1200 one.
more pics soon when my parts come back from paint..........

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

Thanks for keeping us up to date Mark

[pugeyed 0]

well hayabusa shock came today, its tight but there is plenty of clearance between res and swingarm brace

just need some new dog bones to suit.
gotta work out how high i want the back end.

spoke to the chap that is painting me panels for me said they would be back with me by 2nd march (next wednesday)


just ordered one of these as well!

oh and tapered stainless engine case bolts came today too.

here are some pics (sorry bout the quality digital slr is playing up)













still waiting on my tank and stuff to come back from paint :curse:



stuff still to do,

buy horn and wire up.
re-route throttle cables and cut down bar on right hand side , mount bar end mirror
