Winter, come Spring, come Summer refresh . The final chapter
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 7:53 pm
This one is more of a refresh rather than a re-build as it was a fully running bike this morning less a rear wheel.
Anyway, I'm changing a few things on the bike and grabbed a few photo's as I was clearing up.
The history of the bike goes as follows,
-Bought August '04
-DroppedSeptember '04
-Tyga'd the bike
-RVF replica'd the bike
-Now it's a Type 3 bike in Type 6 colours
Here's how the bike looks (well, did this morning anyway)

And this is how I packed it up tonight,




Plans are as follows,
- New system (bought 3 months ago from Japan and arriving this week),
- New rads (I've an RLR top rad and ordering a Rick O alloy lower one),
- Rear (RVF) and front wheel getting powdercoated white again,
- New Honda and titanium (only a few of these) bolts to replace old/tarnished ones,
- Tyga c/f RCV front fender,
- Fit either a clear or light smoke screen,
- Replace damaged/cracked/worn bits (like the rear tank rubber, vacuum pipe etc).
- Some new tyres and a day at the Dyno.
Watch this space for continued updates as they come, I hope to finish everything not long after Christmas but by which stage I'll be back on crutches and not able to ride it
Roll on April...
