Reading all this brings back so many memories . Stick with it youll get there in the end

a bike like this, you need more luck than just skills to figure out the WHYs... good luck!!

Hi killdog, Im doin exactly the same with mine, My bike is frame engine and tank at the min. Good luck with the swing arm removal mine was a bitch and the crud behind the front sprocket jeezuz what a mess lol, oh and snapped studs galore.. well but its all worth it in the end. good luck with yours matey

I first bought a set of 'o' rings from e-bay and still had running probs (they were the bigger ones you talked about)

Then i ordered the set from Valve, yes they were thinner i thought the same, but they solved my problem, they fitted alot better and was well worth the £11. dont disregard them, he's sold prob hundreds of these kits.

Well the project has massivly improved since i last posted.

here is how it stands as of now:

Ive ordered:
Red Res Cap from pro bolt
Res sock
Red Res Clip
Red preload adjusters
Red levers
Red Dust caps
New seat covers with gsxr logo
Fork covers with Viper written on them
Full stainless bolt kit to replace many rusted bolts
All new bearings for front and rear and head set
a running set of carbs for £110
new exhaust gaskets
and more things total cost of around:

£320 in parts

and also yesterday i took the fairings over to the spray shop for a pure black gloss spray job costing total of

£400

the bike now also runs however did get stuck at 3 grand once or twice but it was low on petrol so and they will need to be balanced of course which ill do when i get the fairing back.

I still need to get new disks which im gonna try and get from stealth brakes, aswell as the swing arm and front fairing mount needs to be sent off for power coating.

Ill post some pics soonish guys okay

So ive fitted my new headstock bearings, man they was a pain i had to oxy axe the bottom bearing off... not fun.


I lied, it was awesome and i wanna do it again haaa apart from that not much has changed waiting on fork seals and oil and gotta source some new font discs so i can get the front back together put the back wheel bearing in and clean the swing arm then she is off outside to fit her freshly sprayed panel kit :D


Heres some pics guys she may not look to healthy atm but trust me its getting there and i havnt started to clean it yet :D




What the hell are the holes in my headlight about btw? its really odd.


My rusty old crappy down pipes which are going to be replaced with a stainless setup ASAP!




New seat covers

bike as it is now

rims are in really good condition tbh

hope you all like the pictures!

Btw guys i need 2 new discs if anyone has a set for the front im willing to offer £90 if they will pass MOT :D

Oil for the forks arrived today and so did the seals and i founda second hand set of discs on http://www.hills-bikes.co.uk

they are really cheap on parts tbh might wanna check them out its worth a try for anyone looking for the odd part tbh.

I noticed when the seals arrived today that i actually ordered the wrong ones since i ordered the set for the gk73a woops would this matter or are the seals different?

They will be for the sidelights, mine failed the MoT because it had none so i had to cut holes out to fit some,

But i did a better job then that and also used rubber grommets to make it all water tight

ahh okay how wierd would it actually need them for the mot since its a import?
