Well I have been away a long time but the bike is coming together. It is now got all the panels completely wrapped in Carbon Fibre material with repainted frame in silver and satin black engine. Sadly I could not remove the engine due to the long engine bolt and as the engine seems to run so well I left alone and painted round it. I've fitted new brakes and loads of other bits.
Parts I am interested in:- I am maybe looking for replacement forks as after changing the fork seals they leak worse than ever! Also the rear tyre has some light side wall cracking not bad but I don't know whether it will pass the MOT with this. I need some mirrors, I am not to fussed as I will be painting stems black and wrapping the backs. Front & Rear foot pegs as mine are droopy and well worn. Rear light lens as mine has a bit of another lens over a hole!
Cheers SC

That makes sense. How can I tell that I got them the right way round?
Cheers SC

hi.. writing on seals,should be able to read looking into top of fork leg.try and use oem Honda fork seals,they seem to perform better than aftermarket,. good video to watch on u tube is fork changing by (delboy).shows how to make seal seating tool, also red rubber grease helps with fitting,. cheers the slug.
