ive taken the down pipes off as there was a slight blow from one of the pipes,thought it might just need tightening up at the top also bought some heat proof matt black to tidy them up too.

however theres a few holes were it clamps to the engine and at the bottom were they join together there all peppered with holes and very rusty ,dont know if they can be repaired.But im still having fun

[eastanglianbiker]

at the bottom of the down pipes you just need to cut plates big enough to cover the bad area and weld them straight over the top dressing it into shape as you go not that hard to do

[Stu]

bring them round mate i will take a look see if i can weld them up for you

[craig]

thanks stu ,just spent this evening fixing them i will let u know whats happening when i get it running just used a exhaust repair kit ,although i know that its only a temp fix thanks m8

[Stu]

[craig]

[craig]

I took bike for a MOT last friday and after the guy checked it all over .........good news it passed with just one advisory just to tidy the cables around forks...he also said ive done a great job so far ,which kinda made me feel its all worth while

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e124/craig1976/DSCF0973.jpg

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e124/craig1976/DSCF0975.jpg

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e124/craig1976/DSCF0974.jpg

so all thats left to do is get some mirrors,couple of gaskits,sort the gears out and going to look for some better/new downpipes and tax and insure

then hopefully run it for a while then will do the paint next year

[craig]

Ive changed the down pipes fitted some lush mirrors and sorted the oil leak and its now fully road legal too...first proper ride out today....cant wait

will take some photos of mirrors today i f i get time

[polecat]

Lovely bike and great to see you fixing her up !

I don't think this thread does justice to the amount of work you have put in to it already

Can't wait to see the the paint job !

[craig]

so at the end it has cost me £850.00 which included buying the bike putting a full T+T on it..now done 450 miles on it with no problems ........

But its time for it to go

swaping it

[Guest]

nice job dude, always good to see a bike come back to life!

[craig]
