Thanks for the replys :wink:
There is still lots to do,electrics being the main one and i'm waiting for my end cans as i damaged one when the bike fell over in the garage :evil:

I still haven't had it running so it will need setting up with the KR carbs ,Ramairs and running premix :?

At the moment i can't seem to bleed the rear brake,it has far too much pedal movement even though i have passed the whole bottle of brake fluid through #-o and can't see anymore bubbles :?:

looks so right - love it 8)

might be worth getting a syringe to try bleeding the brakes - plenty
on e-bay (i might have a spare one - i'll have a look) - should save fluid
going all over the paint

I rebuilt the caliper with new genuine seals and got a mastercylinder repair kit for the rear YPVS mastercylinder.

I will try taking the pads out,cheers mate O:)
