Well not really ... but his rear wheel has turned once more ... I got a puncture in my Blue bike so slung Phoenix's wheel in to get me by until I fix the puncture ... but oh my Phoenix's tyre is shot ... it looks like a car tyre it has that wide a flat spot ... no wonder ASM said he didn't like the handling of the SV with that thing on there - it has NO profile and rides horrible!!!!

Today I got it in to such a state that Phoenix was ready to start ...

and SHE LIVES!!!

My plan is to get it ready for Silverstone at the ends of next month ...

The two main bits I need is a clock/screen/fairing bracket (crucial) and a set of clocks ... apart from that (and consequently fitting the fairing) she is hot to trot

Well, I ought to do something about the undersprung Bandit forks too ... but prolly won't bother

so is it a he or a she?

cheers dude, but I bought a screen brace off somone on here (not that it has turned up yet)

And I have some clocks too ...

I am still contemplating buying your bike off you ...

I wouldn't even know where to start! How did you remove/replace the engine. Them things tend to be on the heavy side.

Its only nuts and bolts!! ... you always get some left over too ... which is a bonus!!

I removed it in the back of the van! ? just manhandling it really

The refit was a bit more dignified

Phoenix now has a clock/fairing bracket, some clocks and a top faring ... basically when I put the forks back in and some wheels on it, its ready for its first tryout at Silverstone at the end of the month

I am gagging to get it out and see how it goes, yes!!

Ooooh looks like an innocent rider probably got seriously battered in that first pic. Please drive your van more carefully- is this how you have "acquired" the vast number of bikes that sit in your garage?

Good job putting it all back together.
