Time to make a few changes

[lee1 1]

Thought I would make a start on the bike this morning

just going to change a few things

so first up was drag it out and take a before pic

[img][/img]

think this grab handle requires sorting,so this will be powder coated white,will save messing matching paints up

[img][/img]

then have a look in the box of goodies,some new grips,undertray,some indicators that jim grumpyowl gave me cheers jim
and some hi viz day running lights that have been sat in the shed,think I will mount these to the headlight

[img][/img]
new grips look rather cool
[img][/img]
the little bullet hi viz lights
[img][/img]

now strip the bike make sure the undertray all fits before it goes for paint
[img][/img]

this handle was in the way so that had to go,I could of just cut two slots in the undertray,but prefer it removed for a cleaner look
[img][/img]

had to trim the under tray a little,but it all fits now,so that can be painted

[img][/img]

think this needs to go,big useless piece of junk it is,the control valve for the pair system emissions/noise control device removeing it will stop alot of the popping from the zorst
[img][/img]

thats been removed,just need to remove these small pipes under the headers,then blank the holes off with the blanking kit
[img][/img]

will update as I do it

put the bike back indoors now,front calipers removed think it needs pads and a good clean up

[img][/img]

rear wheel removed,some cleaning to do here
rear disc is shot so will after get a new one

[img][/img]
[img][/img]

both wheels off,will take these to work in the morning remove the tyres and wheel bearings ready to send to the powder coaters
[img][/img]

thats it for now folks,will update as I go along
