Not long now until my bike is back on the road 
.I've tinkered about with it for quite a while now & the longer i go without riding it the more nervous i get.I just hope there's no surprises with the engine or the carbs being gunked up or anything falling apart. :\
The most time consuming job now will be the garage fixing up my wiring to my lights as ive gone with a single headlight unit, i'll drop the bike off on Monday but i've got a feeling with the garages down here being the way they are that it will be with them for a few weeks & that takes me into Mid October so i really hope i get a decent ride out before winter strikes again.
I've got a little carried away with the bling i must say 8) , it wont be to everyones taste but whilst i was at it i wanted to make it a little unique & not to have that bare minimum just crashed look to it.
Plus i've got some little mods that will be an upgrade to handling & make the whole thing a little bit worthwhile, like dropping the yokes 10mm & my Renthal 758 handlebars.Also looking forward to seeing how she handles after getting the swingarm bearings, pins & sleeves replaced prior to my crash.
All in all im a happy chappy but i just need to eek out the sun a bit & get out there & hope to be blasting through the Welsh hills soon. 8) , My knee has almost healed up, still tendon damage & my finger is glove capable so good to go personally.
Pics to follow in due course after the styling has been finished off.
