I've been meaning to attack the bike for a few weeks now, so once the decent weather returns, I can actually ride it! MOT booked for Monday so a couple of jobs to sort for that... Safe to say I am now knackered!
The list goes...
1 - Shortened rear hugger, primed, painted and lacquered - I managed to remove quite a bit of plastic to get more of the wheel in view, the structure is still very sturdy, I think I could have removed a bit more if required.
2 - Mirror stalks - took back to the aluminum, primed, painted and lacquered. I painted these with black gloss then used a rattle can lacquer to give a semi opaque finish.
3 - Replaced airbox with a standard unit as the rasp from the drilled box eventually did my nut in.
4 - Inserted a waterproof fuse holder for the 2nd low beam (for the MOT)
5 - Fitted the proper number plate (for the MOT)
6 - Removed decals from the side pods
7 - Removed the top 2 pieces of the tank pad as it was starting to look a bit worn, a bit astonished to see 'S2' actually in the tanks paint job!
8 - Primed & Painted radiator ends.
Next job will be to remove the rear reflector, cut down the number plate holder and refit another reflector somewhere legal and more subtle. Remove and repaint the centre stand, unsure whether to refit. Spray the heel guards and heavily lacquer (or replace with a carbon item). Watch this space.
