Didnt get as far as i wanted today....my z1000 was caked in allsorts so it took a while to get it cleaned up....and, as others have said in here - rebuilding the Honda is a 3 steps forward 2 steps back...got the spacers fitted (which took 5 mins) but then fitting the ground cable on top of that triangular fitting i had to sand away the bits behind to get a good ground on the frame. Just to be safe i did the front triangular fittings as well. Ive not fitted the front pipe yet as ive order a set of Ti bolts and nuts for the front triangular engine mounts as that bit is going to get everything from the road and as its a visual part i thought Ti would be a nice finish (same for the fitment of that triangular engine mount at the back. Also realized i fitted the left hand footpeg incorrectly so had to refit that as well. Once ive got the bolts i can fit the exhaust.

Yeah - its become my thing/bugbear... anything you buy these days off the shop floor has shit coatings.....
My z1000: not so bad but most of the bike bar the frame and engine has been either coated in cerakote or powder coat. 90% of the fixings are now either stainless or Ti...as a result it comes through the winter for the last 8 years or so unscathed...
Hypermotard....only the frame and swing arm hasnt been done...the engine has been cerakoted - everything else powder coated cerakoted. All fixings are ether ti or St. Its been a fair bit of work...when i got it about 5 years ago everything was corroded - engine paint peeling off was the worst...
RSV4: surprisingly has been the best....they built it primarily with stainless fixings and only a handful of parts have needed recoating...its a 59 plate but in pretty good nick...
Stickler for coatings and fixings i am but, from a longevity point of view it pays off...
