Good thread by the way.

Thanks for your reply Can you tell me how I support the site and become a member? I checked out the section on donating via Paypal but the thread is locked and it appears that's no longer how you become a member. Cheers!

Cheers for your reply Jim157 [emoji1303][emoji1303] I made the donation but I can't reply with my PayPal transaction number underneath as the thread is locked. Any ideas?

So while I was waiting for the parts to be powder coated, a few packages arrived. The first being a set of new gold EBC X Series front discs.... These are stunning!!! So nice, I kind of don't want to use them [emoji39] Hopefully these pictures work. New phone today so trying to get used to it [emoji23]

Next up was a full fork rebuild kit and a front wheel bearing kit from All Balls Racing.

Next was a big box of OCD inspired genuine Honda parts from CMSNL in The Netherlands. I decided that if I'm going to do this build then I'm going to do it right and replace any worn parts such as nuts, bolts, seals, caps and all the small pieces that will hopefully show an attention to detail. I spent a fair bit of time on the CMSNL website and finally placed an order for 70 something different types of parts (multiples of many). Think I ended up with over 200 individual parts in the end. You do pay a premium from CMSNL but the selection of parts is massive and the service and delivery time is excellent. So included was many nuts and bolts that will be visible around the handlebars and dash of the bike, plenty of bolts for the underside such as shock linkage etc, rubber caps for inside of handlebars, clamps for the exhaust, exhaust studs and nuts, steering stem cap, new clutch cable handlebar housing, new throttle cable housing, new grips, pedal rubbers, new clutch/brake levers, new lever pivot bolts... etc etc. The list goes on and on. I won't detail every part here but I'll mention them throughout the build thread. Here's a quick snap of the box of parts. I would be embarrassed to say how much it set me back. To be honest, once it arrived and I started putting the bike back together I realised that I had forgotten some bits and pieces but I can always place another order [emoji39]
