gona be a little project cleaning her up and making her nice again!
starting with the chassis - a good scrub down and clean up, but the main thing to be sorted first are
Chassis work:
Forks - thanks to MoriMan giving me a lot of info about the 636 forks - i just want a speedo that will have the correct mileage if i ever come to sell! so still in 2 minds here!
Rear Suspension - Nitro/Maxton/Hagon (has anyone experienced these shocks?)
Steering damper ... trust me i need it! lol
Chain and Sprockets... it needs them now to be honest!
Bodywork:
has got crash damage .. quite bad too, even if i repair it, she still wont look right so im thinking of replacing all the heavily damaged parts - only appears to be the right side fairing, the nose cone doesn't seem to match and has got me thinking that its fit for the CBR400 lol either way, this is what i had in mind for a respray
and then i spoke to a friend of mine who done a very rough copy of the image in red black and white/grey... which i found quite tasty!
though i am open to suggestions on the body work ... i want it to look old school futuristic... watch the Akira Manga to get an idea of what i mean! but i will be keeping the red/black/grey/silver look as they are my colours anyways - fussy much .. YES
lolEngine:
engine will stay standard, its got plenty of grunt, its more than enough for the road, i will just keep on top of the servicing, although i would like to achieve the 65bhp mark, if i can push 70bhp without heavily modding the engine then i will attempt it although i would like to get a set of bigger carbs on her if its possible and im tempted to change the cams to Kent or SP if they are the right price and then eventually get round to getting a full set of race down pipes - the flange has been cut off (i dont even think there was one on there in the first place!) and got me thinking its a full BEET system on there already though :S either way, i'd really like to clean up the exhaust as it sounds lovely!
and thats pretty much it! hope to get started as soon as possible, just have a few things to sort out over the next few weeks before i can properly under go the work!
