    haha yup, couldnt live without them :D

    the rear engine mount is giving me the first clue as to where to mount everything, but thats just to get it somewhere near straight, then spirit level will be cracked out.
    although you raise a valid point and that isnt something i took into account, however if i make sure the frame is sat perfectly level then if i level the subframe to that there shouldnt be a prob…but feel free to correct me if im thinking wrong as its easier to do it right first time.
    thanks for bringing that to my attention

    disregard everything ive said on all my threads im actually giving up. its official a lump of metal has beaten me, how pathetic?
    well it has..everythings gone tits up as usual, no one in this country can do anything right because nobody trys..everyone shafts you at every bloody moment they can and whats the point? why do we put up with it?

    anyways im not finishing this bike..infact ive not even started it but ive managed to break everything ive touched.
    im sick of bikes..everything i have had has been sh*t, nothing has worked properly or it has just ended up failing in some way. im done with it!

    What’s up Ben?

    Sure there a few of us on here (me included) that will help you out.

    We all make cock ups, I managed to wire up the lights on the Kat so it burt out half the wiring loom when I first got it.

    Happy to help if i can Ben, that is the point of forum community. Katana helped me the FZ600 I worked on last year for example.

    Stick with it bud.

    Yep, winter projects can be a bummer, cold garage and grazed knuckles have stopped lots of projects but come spring it gets easier. Plus the knowledge and experience you get from a project like yours stands you in good stead for the future, whether it’s projects, maintenance or even a career change.

    Have a rethink mate!

    Nope its not. In the next couple of months im moving all my garage equipment and tools and bike into a 32 foot unit so theres no point tidying it ’til i get all my crap out of it, it’ll be easier to sweep out with the benches out. Then thats where the bike will be re born.
