Bob's Track Project
Hi Folks,
I just took a bit of a punt on ebay and bought myself a Cat-C insurance write off K7 model with just some minor damage (hopefully) with the aim of getting it on the track. Looks like just minor fairing damage and a missing mirror and footpeg/gear lever so confident in getting it fixed up easy enough.
Picked bike up in van and happy with the purchase so far. First things first is to check the bike out mechanically and get it into working order and test ride it. Bought a load of "new" bits for it off ebay to get her back in working order.
Things done this weekend:
-Fitted ebay left mirror (will be ditching this but want to collect bits in case I want to sell it as a road bike again)
-Fitted ebay left footpeg and gear change assembly
-Managed to straighten R&G crash bung bolt out enough to get the damn thing off to enable fairing removal
-Removed wheels and got some new Bridgestone BT16's fitted
-Lubed clutch cable as was quite tight
-Fitted track bobbins
Now for quick test ride to make sure gearbox works and bike runs OK.
