Not much progress today
Thought my 600 throttle housing was the same but it wasnt so had to venture on ebay...16 foccin quid for my troubles.....that's what i get for not owning torque wrenches.
Sorted out getting rid of the extra messy wiring from the front end from gps and grips etc, cut off the cable tidy bracket on the left side for extra cable clearance on full lock and then started looking at the front tank bolts (sides).......particularly annoying spinny bracket thingies and i can line up 1 side but then the other side is too far out to sit on its bracket so it slides down...most annoying.....i settled with a folded up cloth between the tank and airbox to act as a spacer but although it works perfectly well it looks a tad bodgy so ill maybe get some official looking black sponge glued on or something.
It was foccing cold and windy and then it started raining so i abandoned everything and went to the shops for some Bevvy instead

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
