The bike is coming together nicely, the wiring is moving on well, and just needs soldering up, awaiting new soldering iron, as the USB one went bang... well I did hook it up to a 12v supply, before reading the instructions... heated up quickly thou..

Exhaust back on, new gaskets and brass stud nuts, plus a few other little jobs, throttle cables and lines routed, little bits that can cause headache later, radiator mounted with fan checked.

A really good few hours...

Once the switch gear is sorted, choke cable is next, as I'm removing the left hand switch gear altogether, then move on to the rain/brake light...

All the best, and stay safe.

 

Time to sort out the calipers..

Had them apart, all pistons removed, cleaned and inspected, no damage or pitting, so after a polish and the fitting of new seals, happy to get them back in, nice new stainless bolts, and a paint, all looking very good..

Now, bleeding these is notorious for being a pain, so started the job on the bench, filled the caliper first, then connect the hoses, and bleed away.. 

It worked pretty well, and after a few pumps bubbles coming up the tube, pleased with that, got some good pressure on the lever pretty quickly, so all in all well worth suffering the cold...

Once the handle bar is sorted, it can all go back on, and the front end is done! 

Looking all nice clean.. the brake pad pins cleaned up with a little scotch bright.

All bled and ready for the new pads and fitting back on the bike, once the bar is sorted....

It was a rather cold couple of hours in the garage, but well worth the effort, and very pleased that its coming together again.

 

A couple of hours later...

Been working on the fairing bracket, removing the "bird cage" set up for something a bit better, this has come from the ZZR, but has a different set of clocks, so had to make up a bracket to fit the bracket...

First attempt looked great, fitted perfectly, till I put the fairing on, and then realised it was 2 inches to tall for the screen,

back to the drawing board, and a bit of thinking had a solution, and job done.

On/Off switch located just above the clocks, gear indicator will go on the left.

Retro Lime green screen will be bright! 

The 6 pots are on the bench, and they will be next to get a seeing too...
