gsx Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Lowered the rear sets , done the esd clocks , changed the slanted gsxr master for a bandit one , re routed cabling up front to stop it interfering with the lock and all handlebar stuff on stainless Allen bolts as most of the rest of the bike . All little things but really irksome , took 3 days , happy for now Quote Link to comment

You were smoking cigarettes, right. My American ears nearly took it the wrong way. Do you have any more details on your chain guard? I'm always intrigued by making parts from non-motorcycle stuff.

gsx Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just some 2x1 box section out of a science lab we stripped out ,always keep interesting bits of scrap , cheap welder and some imagination Quote Link to comment
gsx Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Well fuck me , it's been mothballed for 3 years or more ,admittedly with the carbs off . Managed to wedge a 14 amp battery under the seat and used the last of the mower petrol in it and guess what ? First prod of the starter it fired up , drained petrol from float bowl 3 as not firing properly on that one and purring like a kitten , just been for very short blast and back in love again , happy bunny 3 Quote Link to comment
