Getting there...but no more money to spend.

Nearly there but not quite. Still got a list of 10 things to do. Trouble is a have no more money left.

Fairing frame needs bending back a little, fairing brackets need bending straight, fairing needs lifting up. Rear seat painting, lock stops added, fairing needs replacing or patching up properly, needs a track day.. 

quick start !....first time in 2 years!...

a surprise how easily the bike started, a few squirts of ether down the inlets, tank on and then bobs your uncle!...exhaust is'nt fitted just shoved on.

re-packaged the electricsBeen

Been a while since I have been able to get back into the shed. I have managed to squah all the electrics into a tiny space without tearing apart the wiring loom. Ive junked the starter safety circuit and just wired this through, all it did was prevent the starter from spinning once the engine fired....no need---junked!
the battery box was taken from a cbr600fh batterybox, which sits quite well in the frame. a few small support brackets and a number of cable ties works a treat. the ecu is velcro'd to the battery and sits behind it, the rectifier sits under the seat frame just above the battery, using the aluminium plate as a heat sink. I will later drill holes in this to lighten it a bit further. The fuel pump is bolted to the battery box but I have only used one side of the fuel pump to fix so Ive got to look at that again.
I quick test and it fired up, the fcrs are a gem .

Seat unit fitted,

Have the seat unit fitted, now working out how to fit the rectifier, starter soleniod, battery. Etc.

Bit more

Thermostat installed, R6 radiator attached, clutch cable and throttle cable connected. Rear caliper and rearsets done. Slowly coming back together. Next will be finding a new position for the fuel pump, wiring loom...then seat brackets.

New clutch plates

Easy job to do, don't even have to drain any oil out as its a dry sump motor. Inspecting the old plates showed they were worn down and the flat plates showed some sign of over heating with discolouration in some spots. 

Yokes back straightened and stem re-fitted, forks back on

I got my yokes back all straightened, it's incredible how a little twisted magnifies at the end of the forks.  Luckily the forks aren't bent and everything is true again. In a rich a made a silly mistake and forgot to put the bearing seal on the base of the stem shaft, I realised just as I tapped the new bearing down. How stupid!....so I'll have to sort that out at another time and re-order another bearing set. It's quite satisfying putting it back together when in no rush to do so, I don't have to get it back ready to race because I'm not going to get that far this year. If anything it'll be a couple of track days to fettle it.
