Are those Remus cans? Or do you have the full exhaust fitted?

Al

i 'think' is the full system. you'd have to ask the previous owner.... or post up a closeup pic of the headers of a standard system...

engine (among other things) was looking a bit scabby.

decided to do something about it. i would rather take the engine out to do it but im not feeling 'that' strong so i did some localized repairs.













then i finished off the calipers. 1st paint, 2nd clean off the excess paint on the writing with a stanley blade...










then i plastic welded and flatted down the cylendar protectors. filler came next. will flat and spray them up tomorrow.













and i found out why the bike had spongy brakes. guess what wasn't done up....

did a bit more general tiding and a bit of pannier rack fitting.

the pannier rack was a mess, all the plastic had gone grey and the metal was rusty.

much better..



and refitted my newly plastic welded and repainted head guards.
