Just giving you 600 boys the heads up... The Beast is for sale

http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,7752.0.html

Due to needing a bigger bike for motorway crunching my 2nd wife is for sale... aka the beast. She's up on eBay.. the reserve is at a sensible amount.. for any of you that have seen me on here over the last 2 years will know I have done alot to her and spent a bucket load of money on her. I am looking at sticking it out with a Fazer but a thou is the way forward for me. So if any of you guys are interested then drop me aline on here or through eBay. Swops are an option with cash either way.

Handy to see what's coming your way or roughly how long the current rain is going to last.

Yamaha motorpoint race shirt size large  great condition ,,,blue black and white   

Wednesday took the gear pedal & footpeg to my local friendly "old skool" engineer who is going to fit a bush to pedal to eliminate all the nasty side play due to wear & lack of lubrication by previous owner. Meanwhile I have been waiting for braided hoses to arrive & now they've just turned up. :lol  Yesterday removed bars, masked up surrounding area & repainted top yoke to get rid of key scratch marks- also while I had fuel tank elevated I delved into plastic box with electrical connectors inside & cleaned up same.
Some of the alloy components like rear footpeg hangers look a bit distressed- whats the best way of restoring finish on these?-have always used Solvol Autosol & old toothbrush in past but not getting all the marks off-there is no pitting-just discolouration. Any ideas welcome.
PS If sun shining tomorrow  "Big Red" is coming out to play! :lol
