Re: CRM's RVF400 project - Project " skinned knuckles*"
well had a good day getting stuck into this, and after i got the brake lines fitted and bled to the refurbed calipers the front brakes feel great.
so front ends done, headstock bearings were very good and just needed some fresh grease and a clean.
wheels now white and tyres fitted.
source new chain and sprockets (tony you reading this mate ?)
rads fitted and filled with coolant.
subframe fitted and loom put back.
battery attached.
fuel tank fitted -
so i decided to see if it would - and it only fired within 10 seconds of turning it over and settled into a nice tickover with no effort. choke off in 10 seconds and its happy and sounds crisp too.
So jobs left to do
Clean up rear wheel powder coat before fitting (or it will never come off again)
remove rear hub and clean and pack with fresh grease in the bearing.
strip and clean rear caliper, refit all rear brake assembly.
source and fit a couple of new indicators - old ones were some shite LED pointy type things - feckin useless.
Remove fuel tap and cap and fit to new tank. and add juice.
then its just really a case of fit the bodykit which thanks to Simon and ebay and Vparts have most of a very tidy useable bodykit. just need to find a smart and tidy left hand lower really. and go round and check everythings torqued correctly and there are no bits left over lol.
Piccys will follow tommorow i think.
