Renovation Time
z1100r:
Decided temporarily to abort my search for decent switchgear. The type I have is not stock anyway and unfortunately comes from a 550 K3 or one of the 750's and seems fairly sort after. I'll get some propper 500 ones I think and not waste my time/money on stuff thats wrong and expensive.
SOOOOO.. as a stop gap I just bought some really cheap, as new, CX500 stuff, totally complete

Whatever I finally decide to do I will be painting the stripes on though - I cant face that much money and application hassle for a few bits of vinyl.
Silver solder not arrived ...screws not arrived...might aswell degrease the frame now I think and whizz it off for powder next week. Bike Should be up and done in a fortnight...hehehhe..yeah OK :o ;D

Well it wasn't a flook...I cut my support bar off the bottom of the tank and flatted the whole thing with 800 this afternoon - to get rid some sanding marks. It was so good the first time that I didn't think it posible I could achieve the same finish again but I did easily....its good stuff that paint.
I've put it in the house for tonight...smells a bit but she hasn't noticed... yet.

Looking great, my 4 cans arrived two days ago, thanks

Carefull with the cx500 switches as the kill switch works the opposite way round as it connects the black/white to earth to stop the engine and disconnects for run
