Done more work to her last night & this morning
Brake lines & pads all round, fluids, All lock wiring, Shim the thermo fan that was touching the radiator, double check all bolts & fuel up.
Started after a few cranks.... sweet music to the ears... checked & no leaks 8) let her get up to temp & give her a few revs everything is sweet :D ..... into first gear .... perfect run through the gears & all seems to be ok.... but wait what is this? there is runout in the back wheel BUGGA the rim has a runout of 6mm, this will be the last thing to sort before track time :?

'scuse my ignorance, but what does that mean? ie what's runout?
The bike looks tops Rob, always impressed with people who can put a bike together like that.
With those pics Cath will be pestering Dave#3 real hard now to get hers sorted :D

Thats right Wattie She's warped!
Looks like the previous owner had backed it into a gutter hence the damage
Only a little setback but.

Yay got the wheel back & spun her up.... the result is perfect! hello2.gif Fitted the wheel & took her for the first spin round the block (factory units with no other tenants around)... it was fecking cold at 6.30am new_shocked.gif ...so let her warm up to bout 80deg, a few blats on the throttle gear up & go! 1st thing to notice is Phowwwrrrr watch the right wrist :lol: got a bit keen on a straight section and lofted the front wheel skyward :lol:
Got a bit of work ahead, probably a half day at work on a Sunday with no one around, to adjust the bars levers rearsets etc ... the sorta stuff you cant do to a static bike. Best things about today were the fact that the radiator did not leak & all the hard work is over 8) more details to come
