Bit of a standstill with this recently. Got my Nova sorted and agreed. Managed to get a dating certificate.
Sent the documents to the Dvla on Friday to register it.
It's ready to strip it back down and Powdercoat the frame, but last time they wanted to inspect the bike so I'm trying to leave it in one piece.
In the meantime I've sourced a set of black closed cartridge forks and rebuilt them. A 25mm spacer added internally to lower them to 275mm travel and some 6.2 kg fork springs in both legs to get the sag correct.
Bit of time today so I made up a billet adjustable gear change leaver also.
Had a bit of an issue with the rear shock i built the bike around also.
It was a bitubo unit from an r1150gs. It was in need of a service but when I went to get the bits they were now unobtainable.
I managed to shorten a Wilburs shock i had spare from a hp2 enduro. That is now on the bike also
