Matt-Man Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Just starting on a winter re-vamp of my TL..... This is what it looks like just now.Banoffee has asked if mine will go on the OSS stand at this years bash at Donnington... Better make it look a bit special then eh ? 3 Quote Link to comment
Matt-Man Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 So, it begins... Bought some bits to improve the way it goes and the way it stops... Dymags originally for a Busa and a set of PFM calipers and discs. Pulled one apart to give it a thorough clean out and to check for damage. Just brake dust and a bit of grime, pulled a couple of pistons out to find that they're immaculate... Happy so far ! 4 Quote Link to comment

kja.busa Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Those brakes are mental, I had a set and ended up selling them, I thought they were too much. Regarding the fork anodising this guys work is good, just had a set done myself. http://www.mailorderrepairs.co.uk/anodizing-tin-dlc-coatings Quote Link to comment

KATANAMANGLER Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 What's behind the blue tarp Matt? Is your secret dance studio/ spray tan booth? You know that the Donington get together we are having on the 6th and 7th of May is also the expected to be largest gathering of TLs ever. Over 200 apparently. They will probably do a parade lap of Donington too. I trust you will be there killing two birds with one stone. Viz will bring the orange if you bring the vodka I will scout the nearest wobbly car park. 2 Quote Link to comment

Matt-Man Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Picked up my bits from the Powder coaters today... Looks nice !!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Matt-Man Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 This is the S so far... Plenty of tapping out threads and clearing grit from the bearing recesses... Quality of the powder is not the greatest, but it's pretty good. Fitted the motor, and running gear. Sorting the loom. Next thing to fit It's the pipes, but I want to give then a good polishing first. 4 Quote Link to comment
