Hey all, thought it's about time I start logging my build, here's how it goes; January last year (2016) I bought my 1991 mc22, had a custom paintjob (blue/yellow cbr1000 mockup), a stainless steel yahamoto full exhaust system, and a hid wiring kit that I removed, over the next 12 months I had done the following maintenance & mods; Mods Bar ends Lever guards Adjustable levers Fairing bolts Swingarm pick up Preload adjusters Ebay fender eliminator x2 Tarmac fender eliminator Rear seat cowl Ebay heel guards Brembo rear master cylinder Double bubble windscreen Fan over ride switch Maintenance Sprockets 52th & 54th + D. I. D chain 16000km Tyres 16000km Front & rear brakes 16000km Front wheel bearings 16000km Throttle cables 16000km Oil & filter 16500km Brakes bled 16500km/20000km Rear tail light re wired 16500km Rear wheel bearings 20000km Spark plugs 20000km Spark leads 23000km Carbs cleaned/balanced, cracked carb bowl and new bowl seals 23000km Gold RS gp chain 24000km Steering bearings installed 24500km Front calliper resurfacing & seals 24500km Brakes bled 24500km Dash (bought with cbr400rr dash) Grips Indicators X8 Boot lock mechanism Clutch lever, Come December 2016, one day I went out riding, literally 2 minutes after I left my mate my battery died from a finished rec/reg, couldn't arrange a tow home so I chained and wheel locked it, next day I bought a FH008 rec/reg and I also managed to score a Brembo rcs19 master cylinder for next to nothing, I get back to the bike and she's been knocked off, almost 2 months goes by, I had gotten another mc22, I got a call from the police saying they got my bike back, but she's not in good shape, when I got to the storage lot, I felt like crying, they had painted most of the bike black, removed 80% of the mods including my exhaust system, police ended up recovering that, so took her home, stripped her down, and started fixing all the bodgy crap they had done, and in the 2 months I didn't have her, I had bought a front end off a zxr250a so I put that on, since then I had let her sit until recently, decided to keep working on her, ending up fining more issues with wiring and carb boots, so in the middle of fixing that all properly and she should start, when I first got her, the electrics wouldn't come on, and after they did the starter motor wouldn't work due to a burnt out neutral switch wire and silicon rectifier, so fix that and now she cranks, swapped the plugs because they where fouled and she's so close to starting, I'm hoping it's just the carb boots then she's good to go, I have bought more mods for her but currently have them on the other bike, to the people who have read this far, thanks for reading, sorry for blabbing, more mods will come ones she's back 110%, will update soon!
This is the condition I got her back in... At least the bloke got sent to jail, that doesn't happen often
