OK quick update before the bike goes off to get some more work done.
So far the following bits for one reason or another have made it into the bin:
- gash number plate hanger it came with - replaced with an Alu one I made/powder coated
- rear shock.........was leaking a whole day after I got it
- front engine mount - billet item added to ensure no breakage
- choke cable - due to muppetry on my behalf!
- primary chain tensioner - as the orignal was cracked through
, revised part fitted
- ugly foot controls - replaced with Banke Performance items
- rear brake line - goodrich item fitted
Some of the Stuff removed

Foot controls - far nicer than ugly chrome items with ridiculous linkage!

It's off to see perhaps the grumpiest Buell mechanic (in Dukinfield) for a couple of weeks for the oil pump drive, cut down cam case (and re-route oil lines) and the fitment of a nice shiny swingarm (from an X1), a metmachex oil tank and a hidden rear brake mount (and Brembo caliper).

Looking forward to getting it back for a little riding before the cold weather and road salting starts....with all that alloy it'll not be ridden over winter
