1098r - New Project

Discussion in 'Builds & Projects' started by ditchvisitor, May 19, 2020.

  1. Stick the bike across the back wall?
     
  2. I’ve been a busy boy ordering a load of parts from Moto Rapido, I should collect the frame/wheels later this week and then the rebuild will start!

  6. If the bike is at your house, I hope you have good security as you have shown your address on the M/R receipt.
     
  7. On a military base with armed guards and barbed wire!!

  10. Tell me about it!!! £700 of washers/bolts/nuts/clips etc etc. I’ve gone fully anal and replaces every rubber strap on the wiring loom, all the fairings bolts etc and a number of bits like the horn etc were missing.

  14. Popped out and collected the frame/subframe and steering damper bits from paint today and the rebuild has started in earnest. Going through methodically and torquing everything up correctly, fingers crossed I should get the last few remaining bits I need and should be back together in a few days!
