Re: new bike
spent the whole weekend de-greasein and polishin, the frame and swinger have come up realy nice and the chain and sprocket look nearly new after all the crap was taken off, painted the wheels and front mudguard and fitted braided lines, got a mint cbr6 f sport shock from the local breakers for £20, and will be rebuilding the forks this week

Re: new bike
rebuilt the forks over the last couple of days with ohlins springs and kais valves, fitted the shock which has raised the back about an inch and it only had a short resovoir conection so ive fitted it under the seat in front of the battery box by making a bracket,
