right!

the following pics are of the bike today, its not pretty (yet) bit its getting very close to being started.
once the bike runs i will strip it all down and have every thing cleaned - painted - plated ect, and thats when i will get into the nitty gritty as far as the build thread goes - including millions of pics along the way.

so for now:-

ok so the bike has not been started yet.
infact i've not even been near it as i'm waiting for some parts to arrive that i had forgot about and i cant start the bike without them.
So hopfully i should have the parts by thurs and will most likley have a running bike by sunday.

It lives!

Spot on, good feeling aint it.
Did your bits land today?

yes buddy, parts came at lunchtime today.

it feels great as ive never built a bike before, and the fact that it ran on the 3rd-4th attempt (float bowls had to fill up) is awsome.

i know now the hard bit is done. all the important parts are sorted.
so now i will fix a few niggles and start getting ready for the strip down, clean/coat/paint and rebuild.

Few more bits coming over the next week.
Then engine will be dropped out to have a clean up and a once over

got a good bit of the bike stripped down yesterday, but rain ment that i was unable to get any more done today, so weather providing - i will get some more done tomorrow and some pics to update the thread a little.

in the vid it shows the rev counter not working - i have descoverd that although in an rvf housing (speedo hacked off) the rev counter itself is a vfr unit.

anyhow, pics tomorow.

this is how she sits

Time to get the toothbrush out now then :)

Did you plan fitting a 30 motor or was it just what turned up?
