Managed to get a mint Nosecone, that left panel I showed you and a very nice and rare solo seat cowl. I've got some spraying work for you! :grin:

Apologies for the thread drift Marcus. You need to get that bike Sprayed in cabin colours asap we may have a photoshoot soon!

After some help , iv managed to strip clean and rebuild one half of a caliper but I can't get the pistons out if the other side. Any tips would be great before I launch it across the garage .

Managed to spare a hour or so , striped and rebuilt the the front callipers, cleaned everything up , new seals and plenty of red rubber grease , a few pics

Image

on both callipers the fluid line was bocked right up, is this a common thing?

Image

finished, the calliper paint is alot darker than it looks in that pic

Image

and just a nice shot of the shock and exhaust

Image

Hopefully i will have the forks and carbs done by the end of the month

Im running 5.5 inch Dymags and have plenty of room running a 160 60 17, Would have thought with 6.0 inch you would defo need one of Ricks sprocket spacers.
