moving along

---

Well, just moving along, bit by bit, taking things apart and getting them ready for paint, finding issues, as you can see the foot rest has a break in it, but for now it will stay as is, I am sure it will hold up, I don't have the time right now or the cash to get it fixed.

So as long as I keep moving forward and doing something, it won't be long before it's done.....

and of course a few pics...

painting

---

Well, finally got around to a bit more painting, getting there, almost all is now done, and I will be able to start some serious assembly....

fork tubes are done, seals are in, so those I can assemble, as well as some of the other items can be put back on the bike....

There is still a long way to go, but I am happy with the progress so far...

and of course some pics....

rad ready

---

Well not a lot, but something, at least it's moving forward.....

Rad is almost ready, didn't paint the part that hold the fan yet, so I can't do a full assembly. I will get to that by the weekend....





.

My exhaust is on it's way.......

Packaging looks good, let's just hope the stuffing inside is just as good, don't want to see it all banged up and a bunch of twisted headers.....

Love all the Canadian flag stickers,,,,,,,guess we know it's origin.....LOL

more cleaning

---

Well, it's cleaning time still...Getting all the parts ready at once, so as not to waste time and brushes...even took the front forks apart tonight, going to order the seals and dust caps tomorrow, along with the R1 throttle tube and grips, the PO seemed to have a non matching set on the bike...

well as always a few pics....

shock assembly

---

Well was a wee bit bored tonight, so I decided to do a bit of a mock up on the rear shock and front forks, just a mock up, nothing is tight or bolted to spec, just wanted to see how it will look, there is still lots of painting and cleaning to do before I can start real world assembly....

so a few pics, on how I wasted a Saturday afternoon....

stem is in....

---

Well tonight I cleaned up the upper and lower tripple tree, then pulled out the new bearings out of the package and put it all back together, going to leave the trees naked as I like the polished look, and I am too lazy to paint...it's still too cold outside...

trees cleaned, bearings in, and all put back together....

and a few more......

laser exhaust 4-1

---

I have an opportunity to get this exhaust, it might not be a Yosh, but it's a 4-1 and it's not in too bad condition, and the price is reasonable, any one have some thoughts...

a few pics

cleaning_3

Today I tackled the clutch control and throttle control side of things, it was a tear down, not so much of a cleaning, will get to that at a latter time, but it was a fun couple of hours wasted....

so just a few pics
