  1. What have you got planned?

    I'm adding 848 forks, calipers and a brembo 19x20 M/C.

    Will also be getting my wheels powder coated. Not sure of the colour yet, prob' black or a dark anthracite...:cool:

    May even pop my belt cherry...:eek:

  2. Clutch rebuild, lever change and may get some red Samco silicon hoses fitted. That should use up any funds I have left before Spring :upyeah:

  3. Mono subframe (in final stages of painting), 749R shock & linkage etc. Carbon belt cover, slipper clutch and carbon fairing, esp if I can find a later 999R carbon nose.

  11. Replace the bits that are broken or in need of attention - i.e. oil temperature sensor, left hand mirror, respray battery cover panel, replace notchy head bearings, and perhaps install the new loom I've bought to deal with the various electrical issues. Hopefully I don't have to rewire or indeed replace the only a few months old fuel level sensor.

    Then once I've got all that done, I'm going to sell it.

  13. Hmmm, as follows...
    Looking out for a Radial M/S to beef up the braking,
    Strip and rebuild supension on my bench,
    Looking for a set of 916 barrels and pistons, might as well, I have to drop the engine as I want to powder coat the frame too!

    TBH, I could leave well alone, but tinkering makes me happy*!

    *Although riding makes me happier!

  16. Just picked up a replacement engine for the 748, nothing wrong with the present one but I couldn't resist this one, built by JHP its a 853 big bore withh gas flowed heads, alloy flywheel and STM slipper clutch. Just need a good chip for it and that should keep me occupied for a while.
