Default Lots to do!

Bugger...
Well, the track bike has been laid up for a while due to family considerations (ie just having a baby.) Finally got round to dragging it out of the shed this weekend.
Last time I was out, I binned it at Thruxton so had done all the repairs and chucked it in the shed. In my minds eye, it was all pretty much ready to go - just refill all the fluids and done... but no... I'd forgotton about all the little bodge jobs I'd done over the last few seasons and looking at it again now with fresh eyes, there's a hell of a lot to do!
The list now consists of:

Clean everything. I'm embarressed at how filthy it all is!
Drill rear sub frame and mounts for plastics
Fit spare set of fairings so they're easily swappable
Replace top yoke (old one has no lock mount and had cable tied it to the frame!)
new plugs and fluids
New (and now matching!) rear sets
New rear brake master cylinder and fittings
Bleed brake system
New fork internals and oil
Paint fork lowers as they look like crap at the moment
Check the clip ons aren't pinching the stanchions and possibly replace them back to the originals (they keep slipping but are as tight as I can get them)
Hopefully got an M4 system coming. Needs cleaning too! Also fabricate bracket...
Tidy up the electrics and attach the tip sensor

Anyone in the Herts area fancy lending a hand!? I make a mean cup of tea.
Moan over,
D
