Aye it is a bit silly really. The weather needs to have a good hard word with itself.
I have no choice but to get my fat @ss to the workshop on Monday anyway, need to have a massive clear out of parts, and a bandit exhaust to try and fit to the blade, I’m positive about it fitting as it’s all adjustable
I’m not positive it’ll fit anymore as I accidentally sold it! Haha
Nothing to report yet, nothing more done on the bike.

I have the opposite problem – Quite often I “accidentally” buy something bike related.

Like I accidentally bought my RD350LC…
FINALLY made it down to the workshop for a few hours, though there’s crucial repairs and moving of stuff around to optimise performance (after just throwing the contents of my house in there) I managed to get a couple of hours spinning some spanners, makes a nice change!!
Not a great deal to say but it’s something, I find it a lot easier to cover the whole build In one go but as it is updates here and there will have to do. Since the bike stopped running November time (ish) it’s pretty much sat in this condition pending a good cleaning.
As you can see parts sat everywhere and as it goes I’ve managed to lose a part that pretty much holds it all together so I’m not pleased, also snapped another cam cover bolt, turns out all the threads have stretched so that’s probably why they keep snapping, but £3 odd each from Honda is a joke!!
Anyway at the time of leaving it looks like this.
That’s near enough all clean less the engine as it needs a good de-grease, bolts cleaned, threads tapped out, loctite and copper grease where needed. Foot peg hangers cleaned and re-built with brand fire new rubbers, they were about £4 a piece!
I will hopefully get down there again on Tuesday maybe as I have a few sexy parts to bolt on, and what sort of a person would I be if I didn’t share pics of those as well, gosh I’m nice to you guys.
That’s a laser extreme exhaust (I think) ive always liked the simple looks of these but they are not cheap so I never bothered, but struck a deal with a lad off another forum so all is good. And it looks loud so that is good enough for me, chop and weld needed.
Talon Hard-Annodised rear sprocket, one tooth less. I always thought Renthal sprockets were the way forward but after meeting one of the streetfighter lot who does the world wheelie speed record thingy he reccomnended Talons as they last longer, (and he is sponsored by them) so I thought why not! £37, any size you need and it weights just 274g. It’s always good to drop some weight when you’re a heavy giant like me.
That’ll do for now, better get some more parts ordered. Ta raaaaaaa for now
getting there! The fuel tank is actually not far shy of being full, wooI shall be doing a series of videos if I can find somewhere else to host them (if that’s the word) other than YouTube as I can’t be naffed with silly little boys comments they always post.
News just in, I picked up my custom spacer last night to throw some forks into the bike so by Monday night I SHOULD have in the forks, yokes, discs, wheel and calipers plus brake lines ready to get plumbed in. Good days
