Couldn't put old horrible fasteners onto freshly painted wheels
Image

So I blasted them and gave them to the zinc coaters
Image

And the tyres have turned up
Image

All on target to get it all fitted to the bike for this sat...hopefully

Spent the morning on the bike, was very eager to pick the wheels up to say the least.

I got the old wheels off, these will become my track day set to make the most out the tyres before they are scrap. I changed the disc's over to keep the gold centred ones on the gold wheels.
Image

I was going to fit these, but the diameter of the hole was too large for the valve. :down:
Image

Promptly got the tyres fitted.
Image

Fitted the disc's with the new bolts, then re-balanced it.
Image

Fitted the rear to the bike, easy jobs first :wink:
Image

With the new coated nut.
Image

With the new larger 8's on, this is my Carl Fogarty Honda Britain TT winner replica 100% done, she's not perfect by a long shot but I think she's turned out pretty well and am very happy with her.

Very smart. Gold wheels are the icing on the cake for that period of race reps.

Been looking at the calipers on this bike and thought they would be better suited to the trackbike. The stock brakes are much more in keeping with the race rep scheme.

So I pulled the old ones out and took the billet ones off.
Image

Pushed the pistons out as far as they could go and cleaned them up, cleaned up all the pins and anti-rattle springs and the bodies.

All apart
Image

Back together
Image

The Bike is due the MOT and a general service too, so that'll all be happening soon ready for the summer.

it is lovely.

For me though...and nit picking.. too many stickers - the MIchelin fork stickers and the goodridge mudguard ones are too much.

Like it.
