Bike back on the road!

[Spaceboy]

Finally got my bike back on the road after >8 years off the road, and about 12 months doing it up (on and off).

Replaced :-
Front tyre
Front wheel bearings
Front brake pads
Rear brake pads
Rear brake disc
Rear brake oil
Head bearing (steering column)
Rear shock
Front forks
Carburettors (hacked 2 sets apart and made one good set)
Spark plugs
Left & right footrest hangers
Left & right passenger footpegs
Chain & Sprockets

Best part is the insurance - £85 fully comp for the year

Yup! '98 Hornet 600 CBF

Did all the work myself barring replacing the front tyre... many blood sacrifices were made

B****s hope you get insurance at least ?
Need pics mate

Mine's done 58k miles, so the engine's good for a while! Still surprisingly quick up to the legal speed limit

[le4thab]

Will get pics as soon as. Insurance are useless as are the police. Looked at hornets but wanted something bigger and fully faired.

That's really good mate, will have saved yourself a small fortune in garage bills.

Got more power?
