And finally for today, cleaned and fitted the Goldspots.
Take no notice of the rusty brake discs, might get a full set of wavy`s.

Next on the list is to get a new gas bottle for my heater as it was a little cold this morning.

I`ve never known brake discs go rusty like that, hasn`t been out of the garage since i got it

And it starts and runs fine, no leaks from the rad.

RF, mind if I pinch one of the piccies of you bike? Easier than taking the fairings off mine and taking photos?

Well Chaps, change of plan.
Removed the YZF750 swingarm and put the original back on.
There was a fair bit of play in the 750 arms bearings, plus i was going to have to split the chain to fit it through the braced arm, so to save a little cash i used the original arm and chain, as its in good condition and will last me this summer.

And while the arm was off, greased all the bearings and fitted some shiny new stainless dogbones. (Cheers Stig

Another little job done today viewers!
Fitted a set of Goodrich stainless brake lines, another Ebay bargain.

They were for an R1 but fit the Ace no problems.

Thanks mate, i`ll be happy if it looks half as good as yours.
Won`t be quite immaculate looking this year until i decide if i`m keeping it

Just want to get it roadworthy and running right before i spend too much on it.
Got something in mind for the paintjob though.
