Updating my RRW

Swinging properly bolted up now



Also other exciting news my crank and head are ready!! Mique is collecting it today and the rebuild can begin We had some money left over in the buget so the head has also been ported now too

Thanks very much Mique!!

Sorry John could not make it in time to collect this morning , so collection will be on Tuesday as Scotty also has a head that needs looking at. Thanks for the voice mail LC

Always thought Scotty had head problems

Not so much of a head case more like 10 degrees retarded

No worries mique, looking forward to some pics

Well after almost giving up on the 929 rear OZ wheel I think ive finally managed to get it fitted.. Need some custom spacers which im having made up but think its all there... many thanks Cabbie for aswering all my PM's

Im taking the front wheel to the anodised tomorrow for the gold treatment to match the rear then I can get the tyre back on and refit!

Also great news on the motor, crank and head are back with Mique and the assembly will shortly begin!! Sold my R1 shock on ebay for good money so for the time being going to get an 08 blade shock on there as they are dirt cheap and upgrade again a bit later. Using the money to finish off the rest of the bike, just ordered new wheel bearings and sprocket carrier bearings (those arent cheap). Ordered some titanium bolts for the yokes to finish the front end off

Managed to get the wheel back, now its gold, but it doesnt have the shine of the standard finish.. I think it close enough though.. Cost £50 for reanodising which I didnt think was too bad..



Also have these ti babys for the top yoke to finish it off

Love them wheels mate

Thanks George, cant wait to get them fitted should look amazing plus they really are super light! New bearing here for them too and new sprocket carrier bearings. Even bought some Ti disk bolts... I know I know going too far!!

Those titanium bolts for the rear disc dont seem to be counter sunk, check them out LC as it may not have the clearence with the torque arm stay.

Those are just some stainless ones I have knocking about Mique, ive not ordered the rear ones yet. Still willing up the will power to spend £15 on bolts

Here is the disk rested on the wheel, nice

Nice! I got new Pro lite disc's for the blade today

pics pics pics Cabbie you know the rules

The camera in at the workshop

whoops, look what arrived this morning!! Couldnt help myself, its an RSV ohlins and it looks brand new! could help it, also only just clears the subframe so that was lucky!! Got good money for my R1 ohlins so paid for this and some other bits and bobs, thats what im telling the missus anyway

Steady on there JB, will have a task to make sure the motor does not embarass your handiwork. Looks good in full battle mode

haha thanks Mique, im sure it wont

Very nice looking build there mate

Coming on nice LC, putting me to shame, half way through your second rebuild i've not finished my first yet!

Loose the fugly expansion bottle lol

Thanks guys, yes clive pull your finger out!! haha

If you want to knock up another alloy res bottle I wouldnt complain

Dont you just love getting exciting bits through the post, some more today:

More Titanium goodies, im getting a bit addicted to these time to knock it on the head.. front disk bolts and caliper bolts. have all Ti bolts on the front end now.. shes going to be lifting up nicely




Whoops... and the 08 shock I dont need now... Better hide this from the missus!!

Shocking case of OCD mate. Wondering whether your program has an ending. lol

haha your not wrong Mique, I thought it was my missus who had OCD.. Now im thinking perhaps its rubbing off on me!!

Its get worse Mique...

dirty old mangled chain adjuster... er no thank you sir. Nice new chain adjuster for me




Could resist a pic of the wheel and shock fitted (that wheel isnt beaten to death, its cover in muck from the anodisers I just havent cleaned it off.)

It's all looking impressive LC, bet you can't wait for the motor to come back and get it built up again.
I just looked at 08-12 shocks and can't believe how cheap they are. Do they fit your 98, it would be a cheap way to replace the shock if on a tight budget.

Just realised why you got that, LC. You have a modded subby so have room for the resevoir on top, as opposed to the remote mounted one that is standard.

yeah thats right Mick, not sure they would clear the battery box on the standard bike... Your right though dirt cheap, this one cost me 99p!!! But had to pay £25 shipping but still cant complain

Well got the wheel all fitted up and my tyre put back on, wheeled the bike outside for some pics but then camera on phone took blurry pics :(





While is was outside took one of the rear



And a blurry pic of the repaint yokes
