Almost there!
Just got to tidy up the wiring loom and adjust the steering head bearings.
I`m praying for a nice weekend, though its bank holiday so expecting torrential rain with my luck!

Nice work rf9rider

Thanks mate, everything adjusted, wiring sorted, i took it out for a quick blast, then back into garage, checked all over, seems everything is ok!

So its MOT time later today, then if all goes well i know what i will be doing all weekend.

Well, its at the garage awaiting MOT, should be done by Saturday dinnertime, i had a job getting it booked in as everywhere is real busy, but my friendly Kawasaki dealer took pity on me and said he`d squeeze me in.
Fingers crossed.

Thanks mate, i cant wait to get it MOT`ed and get out on it!
I`m not too worried about getting it mucky, perhaps i`ll feel different when its all sprayed up.
I actually enjoy stripping and rebuilding, apart from airboxes!

To be honest, the bike looks much better in the pictures than it actually is, theres still a lot to do, bolts to replace with stainless ones, and the rear calliper and hanger bracket looks a bit shabby, but i just want to get out on it, these are jobs for those rainy days!
And of course the spray job.

make sure there's plenty of paint on & then rub back with 2000 wet & dry to give that nice deep shine. You can do that with a top caot of laquer too
