Welcome back, Si. :grin: Have you collected it yet? Good luck with it, I hope you have less hassle wi' this one! ;)
What are you planning to do to it? Are you gonna give it a service & a good check over before the spring?
I haven't been out on your old one much as the carb's still need fine tuning & rebalanced. I have new OEM needle's & needle jets to fit as well. Hopefully see you out & about later in the year. ;)

Seems to be a few 76's up your way

I never see GSXR 400,s either. ZXR 4,s, NC30,s & the odd 3TJ FZR & NC29 CBR are all I ever see.
The rarity value was one of the reasons I bought 4hundread,s GK76 off him. ;)

Passed the MOT in mid june and after another wee blast tonight have done 1900kms. Hasn't missed a beat.

I have done the obligatory k9 rear shock conversion, added sandy stainless downpipes ( if I had paid full price I wouldn't have been best impressed), stick coils and service. Ditched the horrible purple screen and sorted out a pair of mirrors. Already had EBC discs and a KN filter and new Michelins on when I got it.

New bearing all through and got the rear wheel redone white as the plan was to change it to blue and white as I couldn't find the black/pink/purple panels. As usual after getting it done the original colours turn up! I like the shellsuit colours and am fairly pleased with the condition of them.

So with winter looming I have a litetek full kit for the carbs and new genuine needles to do and it will be wheels off and get them both done the correct blue/purple colour, tank sprayed and then, hopefully only filling the holes in the fuelling will remain.

Looking good there. Hey did you have any clearance issues when you fit the K9 rear shock?
Have just fitted a K7 to my GK76a and I had to attack the front of the swing arm cross member with the die grinder as the outer diameter of the spring was contacting it under compression.
