Gathered a few more bits

Engine mount fixings ready for blast and zinc coating.


Undertray, needs a good cleaning

Fitted and bled up.

[Tim400GB]

Been having a huge organise of all my spares to what I want to keep and what to sell.

This is what I found that can be used on this bike,
So basically I can see this one also turning into a full build but it will definitely be used to get my other fairing painted.

Clutch lever


Headlights (only got one rubber though)


Sprocket cover with speedo drive and cable


Coolant and vac pipes


Set of low mileage clocks (UK model?)


Ecu and Mmax box


Horn


Loom, this needs a right clean up!


Throttle and grips


Luggage hooks


Clean up the rear brake res


And the undertray (with new heat shielding)

[Tim400GB]

Got the loom cleaned and retaped. Now all routed on the bike
RegRec and rear coil tested and mounted too.





Bought a master cylinder rebuild kit a while ago for a brake that just needed bleeding properly.
Put it to good use today.

Sick of looking at that shock cover so I picked this up



The spring was quite chipped so I changed it for one I had already.



Fitted. Also changed the wheels from my other bike.




Blasted the rear caliper.



Painted, with new rubbers, seals and pistons.

[Tim400GB]

New pads, pin etc



All mounted

I love reading build threads like this :)

[Tim400GB]

Dug out the switchgear from my spares that had the wiring hacked and picked a scuffed one for a cheap price.

Before


After

[Tim400GB]

This bike also got a bit of loving

The undertray was finished off with the fitting of the ecu, indicators and number plate.


and only a little thing but I fitted the rear brake master cylinder and reservoir


I was also busy making a lockset for it. Rather than buy a cheap knock off set, I took apart a barrel and with more than a few spares adapted it to fit the key (which fits the tank and pillion seat).
