Is this the bike in your profile picture? Or you got two?

Same one from my profile picture. I used it for just under a year in 2006, stored it in a garage for a couple of years then the rest of its life was spent outside, so I have decided to overhaul it and start using it now as I have no other bike to use.

Acf'd = applied acf50 to the part

Thats no rat... its an alien species which I have been studying and trying to communicate with.

Friday should see a couple of updates... I have since the last pics posted have rebuilt the front caliper and put that back on.
Bars are ready with all the bits just waiting for it to be fitted.

I'm interested, I know you've been quiet, buying parts here and there so I'm interested in what you're going to build. Any thing unique?

Dont want to get your hopes up too high... engine and bodywork will look crap as I will be sorting them out at a later date.

Calum it will be built up fairly standerd at the moment, I will be looking at a swingarm/forks/wheel change next year hopefully.

I wish lol

Since the last update i have the carb, airbox, battery tray, shock & linkage, chain, brake lines fitted so went to put the tank on and realised my tap was broken. So got a tap which i had spare and that leaked too. So ordered an aftermarket tap which was designed for a smaller fuel pipe then had to wait another week to so for a genuine one. Then fitted the exhaust and hooked the battery up, managed to kick it over and it idled for a bit but would not rev. So i currently have the carb off as i think the floats jamming and thats what im upto at the moment.

ill get a pic next time I am in the garage.

Oh and i just cant stop spending money on goodies for the beast ;)
