The guy that I keep it with has been on vacation in Thailand all of December ( lucky bastard ) and got home last weekend.
It was a satisfying moment when I saw my bike again after being away from it, kind of when you meet a good friend or perhaps even someone special ;) A feeling of warmth and calmness runs through your body and when you just can sit down, relax and concentrate on working on the bike it truly is therapy for your mind ( but not necessarily cheaper than going to a therapist ).
So the work then.
I started off by replacing the light and indicator switch because the previous owner as iv'e mentioned before
has had a few visits in the gravel trap on it. The old switch was fully operational but I just couldn't stand watching the scratched thing whenever I rode the bike.
I also started to fiddle with the brakes. The standard units are sold to a bloke in Jönköping who is going to put them on his Firestorm ( Superhawk is you live in USA ) and are going to be replaced with radial monobloc calipers and a master cylinder from a CBR 1000RR Fireblade -08. I like to outbrake people on the track.
Me and a friend of mine have also started on working in his garage putting together some benches so that I can start mending my other set of fairings.
I am looking for a left hand side fairing panel and a upper fairing if someone maybe has some pieces just laying around or knows someone who does please post a commentary.
Work on the bike again tomorrow, the plan is to work out a blueprint of the new caliper brackets and start sorting out some really cheap fixes on the wiring loom.
Peace // Christian
