More work!
It has been decided, we are going to scotland. gotta clean and sort out the cbr.
First up, a pic of the old cracked air filter.
Temporarily fixed. new filter allready in as we type.
All back together, along with the other cb650 (nighthawk) throttle cable. removed the old return cable while i was in there too. seems to have really improved the mpg, can get 155miles out of tank now, where it used to be 140(130 when i first got it)
Shiny new stainless steel pipes! cost me e320, so now i have to keep the cbr for the pizza job, gotta get me a spare engine.
The old ones weren’t too bad….
A rare pic of my bike in one piece!
Need a bit of a fairing to blow the wind off me, i like suzuki katanas, i have this spare dr750 nose lying around the place, need to cut off the elephant ears and find the cbr’s old headlight bracket to weld it up it’s just hanging here in this pic, probably will move it back and up a bit, then i’l paint it general lee orange! might skip the confederate flag tho.
big gap sucks, we shall see if it closes up when i get near to the finally position.
Looks just like the katana, got some smaller clocks to go in there too, 180kmh one instead of 85mph.
Practice packing for the trip, got a massive water proof bag to hold the sleeping bag and mat, both ex army worn and used but really comfortable and warm (bullets holes have been patched too!). Have the tassles cut off now i just need to get rid of the ‘timeless cruisers’ crap on the side.
