The Strip & Rebuild begins
Many thanks to the people on here that take the time to try things out & then post their work.
I have completely rewired the bike up now & have the F4 clocks working. I am, hopefully spending the whole of Sunday playing tomorrow, so will hopefully have lots more to report . I won a Bandit bellypan, which I think, with a bit of cutting & bracket making will fit. Also won a Renegade end can, really cheap, so it'll look really old skool

I don't have the money really, everything is bought from Ebay (except the clocks). I think that the whole project, including buying the bike should come in at under £1000. I sold my SV650 & that's whats helping to pay for it. As for time, I fit it in when I can, so is taking longer than I thought to be honest
Well, the loads of things to do didn't really get done. I worked Saturday & serviced the Triumph on Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon was spent tidying the wiring up, which is now done. I found out why the indicators didn't work....There was no flasher relay! I was lucky enough to have one in my toolbox. All of the wires have been soldered, so shouldn't have any issues.
So in 3 hours, we went from this
To this. All i will say is, never again

Thats the time I wish I had haha
I should have time this weekend though. Although my bike is in about 140 pieces on the porch at the moment. Drove it up the steps and everything
Still watching the work. Great job and keep it up...

On the final stretch now (hopefully). Spent some more time on the Triumph this weekend, giving her a wash & a new chain & sprocket kit, so only had a couple of hours on the CBR last night. Headers are now fitted & I also got rid of the low speed air pipes & servo & fitted the radiator. So, may just fill her with oil & water & see if she fires up in the next few days.
Well, she lives 
How happy am I? Filled her with the required juices last night & tried to kick her up, but the battery was on the worst part of flat, so charged it overnight. I put it on this morning & after quite a lot of spinning over she coughed. My face lit up when eventually she fired into life. I couldn't rev her too much as it was 6.30am & I think my neighbours may have been round with hatchets lol. So, it's onwards & upwards with the Autosol & get the bodywork out to paint very shortly.
Here's a link to the video I did of it.
