Hi, looks a nice bike, (where did you get that, was it local) I assume the footpegs are sorted if you're going for a MOT?? Don't live too far from you either (a lot less than a million miles If you want to sell the pipes let me know, I'll have them and that looks like a blue landy to me

Got my letter from the DVLA today she's registered and now legal off to get a plate tomorrow I hope it's not raining. Going to let my Dad have the first legal ride he's been fighting leukemia for the last 9 months and I no this'll put a smile on his face. Thanks to all for your help and support so far I no that HEX ***Y isn't a stunner yet but she's like that plump bird you pull when you're drunk.....a goer

Got the wheels in tonight, the head on with an OEM gasket and set the carbs back to standard needle was well out and pilot jet was 22.5 which might explain the rough running at low rev's. Will be doing a few plug chops once she's back on the road.

Saving up for a new set of pipes to show the swinger off. Could be on there quicker if I stuck my other pair of 31k pipes on flea bay. Decals looked good to me will have to check today to see if they line up. Elsie1411 you working??

Ok fired HEX up this morning and she'd only run on the left cylinder fault tracked to fuel switch only feeding one pipe whilst on main, on reserve no issues so problem negated for the time being . Warmed her up and did a few gentle cruises up and down the industrial estate let her cool down and head retorqued. Checked the plugs both like this: Not bad for a bike that's been sat up for a while, will keep chopping to make sure all is well. Tried to get a better picture of the pearl paint but there wasn't enough sun , one decal is off but that's due to my shitty mounting rubbers will sort that at a much later date as next week it'll be time to let my old man take her for a spin .
