Past with flying colours!

Sunday 13 March 2016

She sailed through the MOT with no issues. Now I just need to get some good photos of her out on the road. I have a few parades and shows lined up through the year, so watch this space.
It's taken a while.... I've enjoyed the whole process and as for how she's turned out, well......I think she's a stunner!
Now the really fun part begins, getting some miles done.






Time for testing

Tuesday 1 March 2016

Well.... it's done! I've booked it in for an MOT in 2 days time. I've bled the breaks and fitted the horn.  The front caliper was leaking brake fluid. Thankfully it was just a dodgy O-ring which was easily replaced.
Bleeding the rear brake was a bit tricky.  In the end I build a home made vacuum bleeder from an old hoover, a bottle and some plastic pipe.  It gave me the helping hand I needed in getting the brake line primed. Both front and rear pressure switches work like a dream for the brake light. So happy days!
My homemade pressure bleeder.


I've given it a quick test ride... all is good. The springers are interesting and a new feel. But all considered I'm extremely happy with the ride quality. Fingers crossed for the MOT. If all goes well I shall post some finished shots of her in a better location than my garage! What a journey it's been....here's to many more with my beauty!
