I'm beginning to think that I will need some soon.
I've just sold some bits and pieces like the stock seat and pegs from my bike on e-bay and almost immediately spent it all again! As I'm going to strip the forks and powder-coat them, I thought I may as well buy seals and a tool to fit them. Then there was the brake pads which I may as well replace and that's not even considering the front mudguard I'm hoping to win next week.
Add to that a Optimate battery charger, just to keep the battery in condition over the winter rebuild and another couple of hundred quid's gone yet again. This is not even taking into consideration the "wish list" I started in my last post.
The one positive thing will be that I'll have bought most of the parts I need before I start to strip the bike down. Then I know I can get on with the work without having to order and wait for parts.
