Probably cleaning it, then coating everything apart from the brakes in ACF50!

Keep them for spares, probably cheaper to re-spray them if you need them.

Front calliper overhaul both sides.
Tyre pressures.
Check scottoiler level and fill if required.
Check chain.
Continue to fiddle with headstock nut - should there be two - another to lock it? Adjusted it last weekend but doesn't seem quite right.
Valve clearances need doing, within next 2.5k miles, might do early, as otherwise I could be doing that job in the snow.
Balance carbs, don't have any gauges though :-(
Possibly clean it, but very doubtful.

Not sure I'll do any of the above though really.

Use clear plastic tubing, did mine a couple of months ago, works a treat, just have to squeeze (bend over) one side to act as a damper if they are way out, until you get it close then can let go completely & fine tune it.

Have a look at the link, I put oil in mine, gives you the general idea, belive me I had never touched a bike before & this was (once started) a piece of pi$$

i've been quoted for a spray and was quoted like £250 which i cannot afford in any sense of the word. so back to ebay to try find right color fairing and try to sell the two i got.

That's crazy! They're not that much more brand new!

I reckon you should be looking at about £100-£150 for BOTH!
