cheers guys, tbh it was a bit more than i was hoping, but had a max of £130, simply because it would then start to cost less to have a pro sprayer do it for me.

I'm now starting to get the bits to do the exhaust, hopefully will start getting it ready for an MOT some time next month

I was wondering who was bidding on that! It looked like there was a tiny bit of red showing on the inside so looked like a spray job (albeit a very good one) and figured it was too expensive for me! Nice project though, coming along very nicely!

There is, and it shows through on a couple of chips on the RHS. I think that it was done either by a pro, or as part of an insurance job when the bike was newish. I say this because the dark blue bit and silver stripe are one vinyl, which I'm guessing would be a Honda part, which hasn't been made for a while afaik.

Got it fitted up with the orange lenses and took a picture last night, so I apologise for the crappy quality, I'll get some better ones tomorrow if the weather is ok.

Been busy on ebay, and will be spending more with Rick O later in the month if I can afford it 8-)

managed to secure this for a tenner

this for *price removed* ;)

black front wheel for a bit over £35 so I can powdercoat the current one but still use the bike, and lastly a new air filter for just £5, bargain tbh, saved around £15 :grin:

I'm after a scrap/part worn tyre for the new rim, if anyone has one lying around that can still hold air that i can have (the cheaper the better tbh, just want it so i can keep the bike on the floor, it won't even have discs fitted)

cheers, as long as it holds air thats all I need it to do, I just don't feel comfortable leaving the bike on a stand with no wheel while the other one goes to be powder coated. After it's back and fitted I'll probably have the spare powder coated too, along with the original rear, and get a set of new 090's on them :D

I've not got my phone cable, but I have pics of the carbon hanger fitted, and the TSR system in one piece (minus front pipes and rear manifold) I'll upload them later tonight :)
