I dont f>ck about me mate, been living on baked beans thought

Hopefully next Friday the chromer's will have done my bits & bobs and i can get the bike built up, im 90% there now.

Then a brand new GSXR1000 is on the cards, parked next to it in the tiny shed, if ican sell the KR1 i will have a nice garage.

Your certainly a lot quicker than me doing the refurbs - takes me as many months as it's taken you weeks !

Cost of all the new parts? the missus would be forcing me to eat grass rather than expensive beans.. Lol

Really looking forward to seeing the finished bike, will look even better next to the new GSXR =D>

Well Quality chrome have told me to ring them on Friday, so i hope to make alot of progress over the next week or so if i get my bolts back.

Now im annoyed, the chromers said ring them at the end of next weeks, thats only a month! ive used them for 6yrs time to find another chrome platers i think.

Got more NOS parts today, going to drop the indicators off for painting tomorrow.

I took my exhaust to work today because a previous owner had butchered the exhaust were the can's bolt on so i welded and dressed them back to shape.

Also look what's arrived finally, but my chroming will be done Wednesday, talk about F-=k about.

Tonight i had an hour in the garage, and put the rear suspension on, nice to be finally bolting it back together.

=D> this is going to be a great year

Progress at last.

I was a bit concerned with all that chrome you were going to look like Sir Lancelot...

however your build looks primo together - I like PAINTED frames because you cant be sure if POWDER coating might turn out 'orange peely'

It's looking brilliant !
=D>

Now im on a roll.

afew more pics for you.

A while back I bought some Goodrich brake lines from teerex, he had removed them from his bike and replaced them with new ones.
When they arrived I couldn't understand why he had taken them off, they were almost new with barely a mark on them. I was well chuffed with them.
Having seen these photos now I understand- almost new with barely a mark isn't good enough, this bike is going to be perfect!

Cheers Mike,
Dont suppose you want to buy the bugger when its finished do ya!
