Got the airbox back in after my whoopsie with the help of a rubber mallet.

Thanks for the advice, Tony! Rain stopped play, but hopefully I'll have it all back in on Saturday. Looks like I'll be cleaning the carbs this weekend too, hopefully!

Realised the MOT had run out in February, crapped it, phoned round and it went straight through - result!

pulled off the front and rear peg hangers, frame cover, disassembled for powdercoating, knocked out the bushes (found out they where a tenner each from Yamahahahaha see seperate post), replacing all shitty oxidised fasteners for stainless, got new bars, levers, R6 shockm barided lines and other goodies to fit if weather holds this week?

Rubber mallet, best device before resorting to a lump hammer for getting square pegs into round holes

Left it in the garage because it was peeing down with rain when I left for work

Super_Monkey · « **Reply #2532 on:** 26 April 2014, 06:14:54 pm »

well Renthals drilled and fitted, and the R6 shock done too, all bolts on the wire wheel and come up well, great threads, bearings re-greased and some copper slip on a few things, either this bike has never been introduced to copper or lithium grease or the previous owners didn't give a fudge!! Way too many seized bolts for my liking!!

De-siezed the rear caliper and replaced the brake fluid, repainted the steel downpipes and refitted in place of the stainless set so I can polish another day......all this on the 600 whilst the mighty thou sat there looking very dirty $:\$

What do you think you'd sell that for? (checks wallet, heart sinks $:\$ )

Mark YPVS · « **Reply #2539 on:** 26 April 2014, 08:45:18 pm »

I know what you mean , I couldn't afford to buy one now

Properly around £3k , not sure as its a genuine N1 with matching numbers but its NOT a show bike.

Mark

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #2540 on:** 26 April 2014, 08:48:00 pm »

No, I'd have to ride it but just look after it real well, if it was mine too.

Mark YPVS · « **Reply #2541 on:** 26 April 2014, 09:27:31 pm »

It does get some looks commuting through London

Rode up to RAF Cosford for the annual Midland Air Ambulance Bikefest. Stayed dry mostly except heavy shower mid-afternoon Highlight of the day was a flypast by Supermarine Spitfire-what a beautiful sound that 12 cylinder Rolls Royce Merlin!!! loads of bikes there including a handful of Fazers. Shropshires idea of road resurfacing seems to be chuck a few tons of loose gravel about!

mickvp · « **Reply #2545 on:** 27 April 2014, 04:58:46 pm »

Adjusted the free play in my throttle and clutch cables... then looked longingly out the window as the heavens opened

Think I mentioned it clashing with motorcycle museum proposed meet. It was well publicised around Brum & in MCN/MCM

Was going to do a short shakedown ride to see what my R1 front end conversion felt like and check everything over, ended up doing about 120 miles and used a full tank of fuel, think I like it

Fitted Metzeler Z8 Interacts , interesting to see how they compare to the PR3 and the M5s.
Metezler M5 interacts were great all round except for wear, rear gone in 2500 front gone in 5000, but then they had a lot of abuse.
