Getting it together.

An eventful few days, I've juggled working on the bike with watching the World Cup rugby. All things considered....it's coming along nicely.

Bars are on, throttle cables and carb are assembled along with the electronic module has been fitted after I cobbled together a bracket. No wiring done yet though.

I painted the ignition coil bracket with some of the crinkle paint as it was looking a bit tired.

I also sprayed the voltage regulator with some matt black paint. As the original paint had flaked off.

New plugs are in. Next is to install the coil and voltage regulator. Find somewhere out of the way to put the ignition module and then run the oil lines.

Still plenty to do but she's really coming together now and I wouldn't change a thing I've done. 

She is becoming a thing of beauty!

Engines in!

The engines in. With minimal swearing, no grazed knuckles and only superficial scratches to the paint on the engine. The frame came out unscathed.

Thanks to my bro and my wife for being extra hands when I needed them!

Wheels, rear brake calliper and forks are on, and the paint on the engine has been touched-up.

I've ordered some new throttle cables as the old ones are shot. The Carb & hyper-charger is back on the engine too.

A good days work...Happy days!

Patience and face-fulls of swarf.

The paint dried well. The last couple of weeks I've been sanding back the fins with a dremel and by hand. It's taken a while but I really like the effect.

There are a few small areas to touch up with paint, but I'll do that when the engines in the frame, as there may be a few more scratches to come during fitting.

Overall though I'm very happy with the finish. It's come out better than I thought it would!

Also..... Look what else I picked up today. Smiles all round! It looks great!
