I'm home until the 5th Feb so anytime between now and then is not a problem. I'm then back from the rig again on the 20th Feb and home for another 20 days so anytime. Most of those jobs you need to do I've just done after stripping my bike down. The only ones that I havent is the carb balancing and the bar risers.
As for the seat, I'm off to see the upholsterer tomorrow so hopefully it will be sorted soon.
You are more than welcome Dave you could even use my home made bench. My bike should be back together in the next couple of days but there is still plenty of room if you need it.

Well, if I were single . . .
Actually I did park my bike in the entryway one winter. That lasted a few weeks until I just had to hear it run. Just for a few moments. What's that they say about as few moments of pleasure and . . .?

The first time I swapped my shock it took about 2 hours but this time I striped the back end of the bike off and even then it's probably only a couple of hours wormk. Plus with 2 pairs of hands it will be much easier.
It wasn't easy fitting the swing arm and shock on together on my own but it still only took me an hour.
As for the beer I'll leave that up to you!!

Chippys a star
Not only did he lend me his man cave he basically did all the work, made the coffee and kept me amused whilst I fussed the cat and his nice shiney CBR got wet outside in the rain.
One day hopefully Ill get the chance to re pay him, Im hoping Ive made a good friend there.
So cush rubbers done (split O ring caused issues), hagon in and drove home through flooded roads.
Once the weather improves Ill change the cans and balance the carbs then in March she gets an MOT.
Cheers Chippy your a star a real biker.

, Ill smile about that prolonged swearing session for a few years) so I reckon its a job well done.100% endorsement to the power of the forum, the power of bikers helping bikers and the love of CBR's.
