Not much done recently on this but with the time ive had ive been sodding about getting the fairing to sit right and now im happy with it i could position the headlight and find some way of fixing it in place. At first i was going to use a VFR front subframe so i could use the headlight mount but that meant adapting it to fit the RVF frame but conveniently the RVF's subframe has a bracket almost exactly in the right position to mount another bracket which holds the headlight in position,

Clocks also mounted but the bracket touches the screen so that needs sorting,

This is the look i wanted,

Pulled the rear hub apart, someone previously had snapped something off in the staked gap on the hub nut side of the axle :twisted: it eventually came off after a few attempts with the windy gun but wrecked the thread on the axle.

Usual crap inc 12mm socket found in swingarm

And heres one i prepared earlier,

Always nice to have fresh refurbed parts ready to fit :grin:

The maxton shock and linkage has now been removed in preparation for a upgrade, HRC replica linkage is on its way from rick which should work with the ohlins shock i bought a while back which although fits the NC right still has a spring way too soft usually used on a NC but should be perfect with the HRC linkage. Im also going to try one of the BMW S1000RR shocks as these although a tad too long have the right valving and spring rate for the linkage.
