    I really miss my MC22 after hearing that video. I sort of want to buy a CBR and mod RS125 body work to it.

    @kiffsta, you're planing on putting that mirror grommet in the correct position, right? I just noticed by the last photo that it seems to be upside down.

    Hey Omar, there isnt much left of the grommet, these are just temp panels until I can source some genuine Honda ones that can be painted up to my spec, I just need to get riding again.

    Bit more work yesterday, Phil and I bled the brakes and deuced there was a major issue, we found that the bleed nipple was shagged, I found some spares on a Honda caliper and fitted them up , we got brake finally. I knew we were running on 3, so I pulled the coil lead off cylinder 1 and snipped a few mm off each end, now we have it running on 4 again. Fitted new carb boots as well for good measure as the old ones were hard as rock.

    So last night I then decide to give her a quick blat up the street, I accelerated for about 10m and the master link on the chain snapped. Fark me, clutch in, coast to a stop and wheeled her back to garage, bit of head scratching and we couldn't find the master link, I know $99 is cheap for a chain and sprocket set, but from now on, Im sticking with RK chains. I called @Glenn22 and bought his spare chain this morning. Fitted it up and test ride the bike, WOW, this motor is awesome, and it quite pulls like a 14 year old watching SBS. Panels are back on, have decided to give her a splash of colour so the vinyl cutter is being wheeled out. Will post some spics later.

    Phil notice my key was bent, upon closer inspection it had almost snapped, so I popped down this morning and had a replacement cut, I also fitted up a cheap reflector above the license plate so it would pass a roadworthy. I then took the cibby for a road worthy and slapped 6 months rego on it
