Bike has passed her MOT!!!
« on: November 21, 2013, 11:48:25 AM »
Hurrah!  She passed with flying colours, which I was surprised by, I was after a list of issues that I would then fix in time for next year but now I can work on the stuff I want to do!

Respoke Wheels
Paint clocks
Fix ODO
Polish Forks
Fit Forks
Fit new carb seal kits
Sort headers (replace or paint)
Polish / Clean hubs
Sort cable routing
complete timing
Bench sync carbs
Fuel tanks seal
Fuel & Overflow pipes
Generator Badge
Mirrors
Rear Shocks - Strip I paint

It will be like doing another project!!

Cheers
Sharpy

Well done, make sure you get out on her and get some miles clocked up, it'll show up any other niggles, and you'll know all the hassles and worries were worth it, enjoy it and ride safe! ;D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Hi,
     Nice one, it always seems a bit of a shock when the old bike sails through, a sort of anticlimax.

Cheers, it was a surprise I was expecting phrases like "death trap" and "public safety issue, but I seem to have done a good job!

Tidied the garage last night, work starts tomorrow.  :)

Well done on you MOT Sharpy :). A hugh relief I bet. It sounds like you bike is in a very similar state to mine. I'm going to do the clocks and wheels before the MOT though.
