February 22nd 2003

Phew it's been a long time since I updated the site, I've had numerous problems with the FTP not working and also with people not delivering the goods on time; if at all!!

Hopefully I should be able to get the bike back up and running in time for the Mayday run, I'm on a mission now and nothing is going to stop me.  My swingarm is at the chromers and it still isn't done; I can no longer wait so I've ordered a full Magnesium one with billet carrier, magnesium hub etc etc (had to use the money I'd saved to buy the wooden floor in my flat).  I'll sell the original chromed swingham whenever it does eventually turn up.  Fingers crossed I should get the mag one in about a week.

I've had the new yokes hard anodized and also the rear-sets (after getting replacement parts), so I can post a couple of pics to keep you going :o)

Also I have purchased some new frame plugs made by STM, these work a lot better than the old ones because they have a screw you undo to remove them, rather than prise them out with a screwdriver.  All the new stuff I get is on display in the shop until I am able to start rebuilding the bike properly, hence the backgrounds in the pictures etc.

Also I now have some more parts in titanium, I had to go elsewhere as the person I originally gave them to messed me around and I lost months waiting for them to no avail.   You can see the brake pushrod, brake pivot bold and the lower shock bolt, there are a couple of others but I'm still waiting on them.

That's it for now, expect faster site updates on the run up to May as I finally get the beast back together after a year in bits.  :o)
