Thanks Pat, I documented it so everyone can enjoy it with me. I do like a good build thread with lots of pictures myself so tried to keep to that

More pics this afternoon after I've fitted the fork brace and hand guards and given it a quick wash

I will have a pleasure to be one of the first people to inspect Juv's bike tomorrow:)

It could be August before I see it. :(

Fitted the fork brace today and also adjusted the gear lever a bit. Just need to take some slack out of the throttle cables and will see if I can fit some hand guards tonight as I haven't received the ones I ordered yet.

Took some "final" pics, all that's missing (that you will be able to see) is the hand guards and the colour change to orange now.

It's a bit dirty now

Juvecu · « **Reply #605 on:** May 21, 2014, 21:24:47 »

But should clean up much better than it did before

Finished just in time, again

Looks good!

The Euro sport screen and the Madstad bracket combination look odd. The bracket really isn't needed with a screen that size but I guess you wanted to reduce the air flow up high.

Juvecu · « **Reply #609 on:** May 22, 2014, 00:04:51 »

You can't be more wrong about it not being needed. Without the adjustment the screen is just as bad as any other. It's mounted in the top most "secret" position, but the screen is pushed down all the way. I am still playing around with it again after putting things back together. You'd be surprised how much difference it makes to be able to move the screen up and down and to also tilt it. Even with a little screen like that it makes a big difference if you just move it a little bit. In a way it's great, I can have a small screen on and still have it direct the wind where I want it. In winter I fit a normal Strom screen for the extra protection.

Personal preference. I like a sport screen as low as possible and wind on my body. If I want more protection on a long ride or on a cold day, I put the big screen on.

NIce one Juv, looks really tidy now

bosnjo · « **Reply #612 on:** May 22, 2014, 15:00:31 »

Great, great, great... Looks just like a new bike out of the showroom floor. You did great job, Juv.
Just out of curiosity, do you have any rough idea of money you've spent on this project?

Juvecu · « **Reply #613 on:** May 22, 2014, 23:20:40 »

Nope, but I will add it all up later.

Hi juveco

How are you getting on with the vinyl?

Juvecu · « **Reply #616 on:** June 05, 2014, 22:57:15 »

Haven't done much bike stuff lately and haven't started on the vinyl. I was thinking about it this afternoon and I might start on a panel if the weather is bad this weekend.

I might need to remove my footpeg lowering kit, I'm scraping the foot pegs away

longman · « **Reply #617 on:** June 06, 2014, 02:43:02 »

I want to say "I told you so" ;) sane problem here. Scraping foot pegs away. But it's fun;) sometimes.

Jacko · « **Reply #618 on:** June 06, 2014, 07:17:08 »

That's why I've never bothered fitting them. ;)

greywolf · « **Reply #619 on:** June 06, 2014, 12:56:33 »

Most people who have that problem either ride like maniacs or keep their bodies straight up instead of leaning into the turn.
