1100s .... time to tidy it up.

Postby qwakers » Wed Jul 03, 2013 7:17 pm

started the tidy up of my new 1100s today. among other things sorted the leaking fork seal, painted the fork legs and rebuilt and painted one of the calipers (rebuilt both and ran out of paint, will resolve that tomorrow :lol:

engine (among other things) was looking a bit scabby.

decided to do something about it. i would rather take the engine out to do it but im not feeling 'that' strong so i did some localized repairs.

did a bit more general tiding and a bit of pannier rack fitting.

the pannier rack was a mess, all the plastic had gone grey and the metal was rusty.

much better..

and refitted my newly plastic welded and repainted head guards.
