My winter project.
First topic message reminder :
Hi I'm not sure if this is the place to do this but here goes. I bought my cat about a week ago and have enjoyed getting to grips with it
I'm going to hang on until the weather gets too bad to ride with confidence and then start the job of bringing the bike back to tip top condition :whoop:
I'll put some pics up once I have worked out how to get them off my phone
So keep checking and please comment if you think I'm going wrong anywhere.

Re: My winter project.
Are you going to put aftermarket exhaust on?

Re: My winter project.
Its got a scorpion exhaust can on it. If I can't polish it up I'll get a new one.
Re: My winter project.

Side panels done.
You can now get an idea of the colour scheme I'm going for, it's all very dark but with metal flake for when the suns out and bits picked out/ polished with silver bits to bring out the frame etc... (But I'm not gay or owt)
Base coat.


Lacquered


Just waiting on my discs and sprockets so will be quiet until they turn up
Thanks for watching

No one was suggesting you were gay, you must be hiding something

HID light fitted.
Very nice bit of kit (thanks Josh hatton) Very bright with pass feature built in. easy to fit, the only problem I can see is the bulb unit moves quite easy in the holder (not sure how it will cope with vibration but will suss this out and post a solution).




Not sure the photos do it justice as these units are very bright.. I can't road test them as I'm still waiting for discs etc... but on first impression very good

Re: My winter project.
how easy was that kit to fit? did you have to take fairings off?
looking really good with all the rebuild!

You don't have to take anything other than the air duct cover,seat and rear side panel, but I had it all off anyway.
There is a lot of chunky things like the ballast and the converter but I hope it all fits somewhere as you have to keep it all up the front as the wires are not that long once you have connected to the battery. It is a very nice bit of kit for the money though I would recommend it.

Re: My winter project.
I got one of the kits the first time round but never got round to fitting it, given I am a bit of a spanner with a spanner

It is very easy. Connect to battery, run the wire along the original loom using cable ties, connect all the wires (they only go one way together) then using spade terminals plug into original light connector job done.

Re: My winter project.
sounds like something for my to attmept in the garage given all the ice around where I am, (cant afford 2 rebuilds in a year!) and if I dont get to do it, or wimp out then yes in the summer your more than welcome to!

Just thought I'd say hello and a happy new year.. I'm still waiting on the discs I ordered so have not really done much.
I have painted the side covers of the engine and built up some bits but nothing worth taking pics of, roll on summer and the day I get my discs
