New project in the garage.
 

Well, the CBR went last week and this morning I got a train to Bristol and bought a new project.

Looking a bit sorry for itself. I cannot understand how bikes get into a state like this. Hadn't seen soap and water in a long time.

One quick wash later with a load of degreaser turned it into this.

Got the gear linkage off and over to my mate Darren in the engineering shop to stick a brass bush into it to take away 40k worth of slop so I decided to clean up the footrest while it was off.

Subframe off to give it a coat of paint along with the grab rail and a few brackets.

Is that a Kwaker rear shock?

Rides very nice

Which workshop stand are you using please?

It's a stainless copy of an ABBA that my mate did.

Today's work.

Spent a few hours on it today. Mopped the tank and rear hugger.

Prepped and painted the rusty subframe and peeling grab rail.

Took advantage on the warm sun to cure the paint and when I finished for the day I stuck it back on loosely to dry over the next few days.

Got this back from Darren tonight. I would seriously love to have a lathe here!
