My type 8 hasnt been used since the cosford meet in 2012 , I even ended up build a workbench over it as it was constantly in the way .

Tonight ive dragged it out for the first time in atleast 12 months but probably longer

I've collected a fair few bits over the last 12 moths to add to the bike
Rick Oliver rads
Samco hoses
Dymag front wheel
Nc35 rear wheel and linkage
We battle rearsets and lots of other smaller bits like a most of the brackets which will be off to get powder coated or plated and some nice ti and stainless bolts

Thanks ,

Managed to fit the rearsets last weekend but I've lost a couple of the washers so I'll have to get a couple made up.

Treated the bike to some more ti goodies as well

Yes very good, thanks mate.
I have a very similar system, but it's not got the 4 into 1 collector. Kind of makes sense of my one now.

Cheers

Now would probably be a good time to point out this will be a bit of a backwards project .
I had set out to make it spotless but I think that will take the fun way from using it so things will get done as and when they need it .

After fiddiling around with the front I've now decided the mudguard brackets are making things look tatty so they need replacing at some point
