oh dear oh dear
none of the bushes have turned up yet, so i have ordered them from the uk and i have been assured they will be here by next weekend so i can get the back end done, i now have all the service items and decals (although i did have to get the supplier to replace the supersport decal which had folded up) see pic.
ive been out to the hurricane and got on with a bit more tidying and sanding down of pannels, they are going in monday, i have made a cover up for under the seat to keep some of the crap from under the saddle (see pic). i have some more time off at the start of june so i can hopefully have her all done.

I have one on another forum:
1990 CBR 1000f Hurricane Build - Custom Fighters - Custom Streetfighter Motorcycle Forum

I do not think I started one on here because I think of this forum as a "keep it stock" type of a forum. I am removing all the fairings, destroyed the dash, running a new headlight and gauges. So I just think I would get some flack from some of the guys on here because of it. Nothing personal I just know how some people can get on forums, very opinionated.

It's your bike, do what you what with it. Some street fighters can be great!

I like stock, but sometimes it's just not economically viable to get one to that condition and at least it keeps one more on the road and you can sell us your spare plastics

How about this baby! Someone put a lot of effort into this one.

Speaking of spare plastic... I have all the plastic for the bike. If anyone needs them let me know. They and not in great shape and some of the mounting holes will need to be repaired and it will need to be painted of course but they a up for sale

Sorry for the jack...

Yeah, I was impressed by the amount of work that's gone into it and the final result is very good.

It may inspire me to polish my footrest hangers, mine are a bit on the cruddy side
