Bike is almost finished now. Sorry there have been no more pictures, my Blackberryis playing up and I can't email. I will get that sorted and get some pic's up.
I have sorted the engine tapping noise (cam chain tensioner), fitted the reconditioned calipers and braided hoses front and rear, cleaned the rear wheel (off the bike), chain, sprockets and swing arm. I have also fitted my auxiliary waterproof socket and USB cable for the GPS. Fitted a new fuel filter and iridium spark plugs too & I got a set of those jack up linkage, as per post on the "general" forum, so I got them on.
I have to do a little mod to the alarm system involving a 100 ohm resistor, re-wire the right hand headlamp so that it works on dipped beam and do the wheel alignment, paint 2 engine panels and change the oil and filter.
After that I will take it to my local dyno center for a carb balancing and a run on the rolling road, then I should be good to go...

Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
