After my last outing on the bike a few things came to light. First the bike had a few problems electrically and the bike had a lot of krud and stuff that had built up over the 75000 miles it has travelled.
So yesterday I took to the tools and started to fix that issue. With my order in for parts and a to do list I set out to fix the wrongs I have done.
First was to remove the fairing and fix the head light adjuster and find the fault in the starter button.

After testing and retesting and tracing wires and so on the starter switch started to work. As I have no idea what I have fixed the temp wiring will stay in place for a quick swing over if it fails again. Fitted the head light I bought off Rendog many moons a go.
And then the slippery down hill move of polishing...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHH.

Problem here is each piece you polish makes something else look shit.

So I wasted 2 days and barely touched the surface. GOD help me.
And only half polished these parts.
Anyway thats where I'm at right now......
