@NINJA just remember to use premium fuel as the ethanol in cheap stuff can distort the plastic

Looking sweet though

[NINJA]

@finnerz89 I will only be using Shell V-Power in my baby. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@NINJA good man! Same here

[NINJA]

A small update, I managed to get in a few hours this afty and cleaned the forks up, polished the stanchions as best I could and resprayed the dropouts. The stanchions have some marks on them, which would not come out sadly, plus they are ribbed so that made it even harder to get a decent finish on em. So their as good as they will get, but most of these marks are not really seen which is handy.

I then slid the yokes back on to test fit it all;

i didn't realise that the forks are Marzocchi units;

[Calum]

@NINJA Yes, it is the same on the Cagivas as well!

Looking clean. Small touches like that make a big difference

[NINJA]

@Calum Thanks bud, their not perfect but shiny and rust free will do for me!!!

@NINJA it’s always harder to work with when it’s ribbed

@NINJA how very dare you!!

Yes, this is getting a little off topic now...

@declan was quite clearly talking about the bike parts.
@NINJA Let me know if you want me to tidy up the thread.

P.S. I was messing about the off topic. But do let me know if you want me to clean up the thread.

[declan]

@Calum I was definitely not talking about the bike parts lol you should probably clean up the thread

[NINJA]

@Calum Just boys being boys and having a bit of harmless fun. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Your call bud, but if it helps the website/server etc then clean away dude!!!

[Calum]

@NINJA I was messing bud.

[NINJA]

@Calum LOL no wucking forries!!! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I've been busy cleaning and spraying up various parts, I'll take some more pics when I've got more done, but here's one to keep y'all going;

I also started to clean the engine and took the crank cases and head off to inspect the engines internals. I have to say my engine looks very good inside, plus the barrel and piston both look pretty damn good too. The previous owner had the engine rebuilt, with a new Mitaka head and piston, which looks like it's not covered too many miles;

Looking smart!
