half way there

to go on - rizoma triple and clips, kellermans, crg bar end mirrors, belt covers of some sort
gloss black seat cowel, alluminium sproket cover,

to do - lower lights and clocks, sort out flaky paint, powder coat radiator cooler (if possible), touch up engine cases

to come off - maybe the Zard system for Quat D - still mulling this over

Summer Time wil think about - brakes, airfilter would like to go down the rizoma fluid pods with brembo upgrade but dont want to lose me lovely shorty Panzo levers, any suggestions here????

any suggestions welcomed, open to ideas.

yea trying to keep it all as minimal as possible, its a never ending passion as we all know. Aim to finish by summer, still some bits and bobs to do. Hide the wiring is on the list. I have literally sold everything to fund this, last week my 15 year old record collection and turntables went, 3 pairs of vintage addidas, pair of Diesel Jeans.....you get the picure!! I own nothing! but I'm smiling everytime I go to work!!!!

If your dropping the front and fitting clip ons I'll pretty much guarantee that your OE brake lines wont fit so perhaps get some ready before finding out halfway through the job.

I just did a test run on my sproket cover, took a lot of care prepind the surface and spraying with a gloss black and I have to say the results are about 6/10, I was going to do the belt covers and oil cooler myself but after the sproket cover I'm hesitant to make the effort for what was an average result.

When I did mine I found the double banjo for two single lines just wouldn't fit so I'd suggest a split line for that reason, I uprated my brakes at the same time so the lines from an SS fitted my set up, but the fittings at the caliper are at a different position to your oe calipers which makes the angled fittings awkward, so standard SS lines may not work for you.

Part of the joy of this type of project is finding out just what works and what doesn't.

Bleedin' expensive way of finding out, innit? lol.
I'm in a similar situation with my re-build, i need to get some stainless banjo's for the oil pipes but the site shows several similar sizes and i'm not sure what the thread size is, so i don't want to be ordering the wrong ones...like i did with the h/bar risers.

Nice, tidy bike Jimmy.
