  1. Nearly done now,clutch adjusted brakes bled and engine had its first run
  2. Welcome to OSS and good luck with the build,I reckon you’re doing the right thing won’t be much if any racing this season the way things are going.Love that GSXR I’ve got some pictures of it somewhere as I was lucky enough to be at Suzuka for the 8hrs in 1992
  3. Lovely day for it today but did the right thing and only started her and the smoker up and then gave them both a clean before tucking them back in the shed.
  4. Front brakes and lines on today,oil cooler back on and engine now oil tight ready for filling.Test fitted the gear shift and set to race mode
  5. There is no numbered sequence on the photo in the manual anyway the text gives the details of how to tighten
  6. All connections stripped and cleaned,routed the harness as per the manual.Stuck the battery on and got some illumination even turned the starter over so all seems good.Secured the mudguard and fitted the seat latch plus a few other odds and sods,beer o’clock now
  7. Rear brake rebuilt,fitted new SBS pads and dry fitted my free brake lines.Mudguard temp fitted and wire harness plus new coils fitted need to save some jobs for another day
  8. Poor old girl really has been neglected since I started racing ,mot long expired and been using her as a shelf to stack spare race tyres etc,dragged all the crap off her today and let her out in the sun.Battery is well knackered so no chance of firing her up.Thats a job for another day although there’s plenty of time at the moment but no cash .Found a spare battery and stuck it on charge hopefully get the engine turning tomorrow.
  9. Bit done today set the valves on the new engine,swapped the new clutch out the old engine then stuck the engine back in the frame
  10. The pressures now off to get the runt ready due to ACU suspending all competition until end of April so that’s the first 2 rounds postponed or cancelled not sure at the moment.I’ve got time now to get her ready as it’s been a great week as I’m on extended unpaid leave from work
  11. Bit more done today before I got rained off,new swing arm bearings installed, shark fin refitted.Cleaned the cushion lever and greased the bearings. New fuel filler fitted that’s been in the box since last season.Next job is to set the valves in the new engine and swap the clutch pack over from the spare.
  12. Parts back from powder coaters so did a bit this afternoon.Wheel bearings replaced, discs cleaned and back on. Even popped some new valves in and refitted the tyres, steering stem bearings installed and temp fitted to the frame, it’s beer o’clock now
  13. As per rule 17b the wheels will be white same as my slabbie
  14. Rain cleared again so stripped the bearings out the swing arm,stripped the tyres off the wheels then knocked out the original bearings. Parts all gathered for a trip to the powder coaters when I’m home next weekend .
  15. Progress is slow when your workshop is the garden and it’s always bloody raining,frame now ready for powder coat,still need to strip the wheels and swing arm but progress is progress.
  16. Last season race 2 Castle Combe I’m in and out of the video after being passed and repassing, foot slipped off the pegs all good stuff bloody love it
  17. The old runt hasn’t moved since I dumped it in the shed after Oulton so with only 8 weeks until the season starts thought I best get me finger out. Started the full strip down as the frame needs sorting with a bit of powder coat plus while it’s apart I’ll replace all the bearings as some of them are about knackered after a hard road life and a seasons racing.Frame,wheels and swing arm are going to get refreshed. New engine to go in after coating and a few other new bits and bobs,just bought a new set of dry tyres and the wets will stay until they start sliding. A few pics of progress got rained off today as my workshop is the back garden ,hope it’s dry next weekend as I want to get the runt fully stripped. Most important pre season job new team stickers and mugs
  18. The oil cooler looks the same as the one on my 600 blandit race bike including the clip on cooler shield
  19. Might be interested fast track one of my favourites raced the bandit there last year so may get some early season practice
