Panels on last 2 Samco hoses fitted (the one on the back of the thermostat housing and the semi circular one on the back of the water pump)
Better look at the lens covers

Not bike related, but I've come to the conclusion that I
need a car, and ergo a car licence! Bought this cheap, £200, with a few odds and sods wrong, but nothing I cant fix :) its not the top spec one, only has the 2 litre 8v 20SEH engine, but will go well for a first car :D

Got it mostly back together again :) quite like the paint like that for some reason.
Also now have a garage again, 20x8 is good enough for me!

Cheers bud, hopefully some sort of update later with the CBR, hoping to get the suspension sorted at both ends :)

Yesterday was a complete nonstarter and today may as well have been! Got pulled into work on an emergency shift half way through modifying one of the fork legs :/
I did manage to get the race shock in however, cleaned and greased the linkage while I was there.

All back together, need a new set of brake pads and I can sign off the brake conversion :) next on my list to buy is coolant hoses and a front tyre and I'm good to try and start it for the first time in 3 years!

Got it sorted, pads in and system bled, needs a run to free them up a bit, but nothing major. Also refitted the radiator for the first time in near on 3 years.
Figured out the routing and final position ofthe remote reservoir
Need to tweak the can still as it sits too far round, but I got it close enough :)
Next up, hoses, chain and starting it!
