the bushes for the rear shock and linkage i ordered from the uk have now turned up, so im off to the shed saturday to give her rear end some attention
,.
the same order from the usa is in the uk at customs so that will be here soon doh!.
the tank is now ready to go to the painters (see pics) it wasnt to bad just one dent, i will drop the whole lot off at the weekend.

LOOKS LIKE I AM GOING TO BE BUSY FOR A WHILE

 

looking good wheelnut!
maybe while you've got the tank off do the stick coil conversion?
well worth it and not too difficult!

 

its well worth thinking about boru,
got out to the hurricane yesterday and managed to get the rear end back together, new chain and sprockets, put the new exhausts on and today started her up ready for a service, hopefully next weekend.

 

looks brill wheelnut.
is that a replacement reg/rec?

 

thanks for that boru, not sure about the rec/reg it was on there when i got the bike,it was caked in dirt,so its had a clean up

 

Looking good wheelnut - like your custom shock bushing installer

 

Looks fantastic Wheelnut, you must be very proud of what you've acheived so far.

The reg/rec certainly isn't oem, looks kile it might be the electrex unit.

 

Nah the 87 / 88 stock r/r's were beefy like that Hawk - my 87 is the very same

 

thanks for that, i am pleased with the way she is coming on, all the pannels are at the painters,so if all goes well she should be back on the road in june (fingers crossed)
sprock i have had that bit of threaded bar years now,i reckon its due for renewal now

 

That is a bike you will be (are!) justifiably proud of Wheelnut - a ripper of a job.

Cheers, SB
