Got bored.
My brother is doing a vfr rebuild now too and needs an Abba centre stand.
So I made this for myself for him to borrow

Re: Another 'spare' bike
Got the RVF system on today, new studs and gaskets all round. Happy with it now but its cost me alot more time, money and effort to get it done because of its original condition.

Got the other half of the 'HRC' oil cooler finished today, wasn't much room to play with which made life a bit difficult but its done now.

Re: Another 'spare' bike
Completely forgot about the state of the oil pan, my mind wouldnt allow to leave it as is so off with the exhaust.
I got a complete gasket set a while ago, so the pan got cleaned up, a coat of HT paint, a genuine HRC drilled drain bolt and zinc'd fixings. Spotted that the clutch cover never had a gasket so that also got fitted.
Also got the 'HRC' oil cooler piped up.

Made a start on the thermosat housing, heres how it looked to start with
