748 2000 748r - From Disaster To Full Rebuild

Thanks mate. I’ve been proper lazy with any kind of update (including tonight), so I’ll add some kind of description of what’s gone on over the next couple of weeks.

Of course! I sent the dimensions and template over to a mate of mine at the weekend and asked him to have a play about with some ideas, so will let you know as soon as anything comes up

 

I’ve still got all of the original bits incase I change back in the future.

Haven’t seen it for 10 weeks, so I’m hoping it’s back soon. The weather has typically turned to crap, so it’s made this week a bit easier on needing it back.

It’s worked out really well on the insurance and my renewal only went up by £10! Can’t complain at that at all

 

So, she’s back and on the road.

Had a 40 mile ride into work in the city today, luckily the roads were reasonably quiet compared to the hell on Monday

 

Funny you should say that, I’ve just been on to Image Works for a new set

 

They’re R&G ones from here mate

I’ve been after some Ohlins forks for a while, but whenever I find a decent set something else swallows the cash ​

 

Thanks mate! And thanks for your help.

Still a couple of issues to iron out with the dash, so I might need to bug you with a couple of questions at some point

 

Haven’t had any bits yet, but will probably turn up in the week.

I’ll chase him up about the surround. My carbon back plate is bugging me already

 

Took the bike into work again today. Everything went well until the drive home when it ran out of electric near the Blackwall Tunnel. Had a quick look and the new reg/rec multi plug had got a bit fat. Called the RAC, he confirmed it wasn’t charging, filled the battery with electric and I got myself home. Probably the only part I haven’t changed. Doh!
