NEARLY.. lol

I snapped of one of the bleed nipples for the rear drums which I collected a replacement for today. So I'm going to get that on tonight and fingers crossed bleed the brakes / screw up the under trays and I might be tempted to give it a blast up the road :-)

I have a couple of things left to do but I can count them on one hand really :-)

I'd have to put a D&D exhaust on that...make it super loud and confuse the neighbors! Here's a soundcheck on a GSX 700 if you're curious...

that just sound's evil !!!.. lol

I doubt I could get away with something like that .. TOO LOUD . I'm on the edge as it is I think.. plus if I'm using it for work I have to leave sometimes early and would end up waking the whole road.. not good. very nice mind..

Well spent last night doing afew more bits. I have its MOT test on saturday at 11am so need to get it finished for then.. 3 Days left to do it.

I picked up a new rear brake cylinder yesterday £20.00 and managed to get it installed and I got all the brake's bleed (not tested) seems ok and get a good firm pedal. I secured all the undertray plastics back up. Zip clipped some wire's up..

Tonight is a big night, I have to drop the sump clean it up and liquid metal the crack on it as its still leaking.. fingers crossed bang it back on with the rear bumper, finish off the air filter mods to include the sump vent / brake vac pipes. Then thats it almost done. I need to wire up a switch to the radiator fan, fit carpets / passanger seat.. err.. thats it :-) check fluid levels and take for a test drive :-) can't wait !

Steve
