Hi all, as the title says....just the odd bit of fettling and touching up to do...
All fuel pipes,overflow pipes etc are now on. Number plate now fitted along with re positioned reflector. I have tried not to "over restore" this one. It will be used regularly, as soon as I have it MOTd & taxed (already got it insured when my other bikes were due last September, that way it cost me £14 for the SRX fully comp etc etc)
Im sure I will find loads of jobs to do on it once I start running it and the odd bolt, that wasn`t "loctited", decides to loosen. Oops I just looked and found I havent replaced the kickstart and rear brake lever rubbers as yet. I know where they are...just one of "those jobs"
Ian :)

Wow, that really looks stunning.
Roll on spring and better riding weather is what I say....

It's sunny - what more do you want?
The SRX does look lovely. I know what you mean about the odd bolts that you left a bit slack so you'd tighten them up last thing.......

Yes, we've all been there haven't we, riding along after doing some major surgery, and all of a sudden you find the handlebars revolving round and turning themselves into 'drops', or the petrol tank starts gyrating madly, or there's a tinkling noise and something bounces into the nearest hedge....

It's a "Wow!" from me as well.
You're absolutely right to be worried about loose bolts. I've heard of terrible things happening. Better ride it down my way so I can check the torque on them whilst you sit with your feet up and a cuppa. Course, I'll be happy to do a little test ride after...just to check- belt & braces - you understand!

Trevor....I thought they were ALL nice colours 😉
PS...Took it for MOT yesterday on a bit of a whim as the weather was quite dry. Passed with no advisories ☺...Happy chappy now ...☺

Congratulations Ian.
As for colours, they were mostly very good, but I never could quite persuade myself to like the raspberry ripple, I'm afraid.
-
Oh Trevor, I'm so disappointed you didn't like it.....You'll never forget it tho!

Not a bad job done for an old codger.
