I bought a long allen bit and at last got the left hand fork dismantled.
That meant I could get back to the powder-coaters with them. I'm picking the fork legs and the handle bars up next week.
As I've got a week off work I should be able to make a go at getting the bars re-wired and rebuilding the forks. Then, as soon as I've got the money together in the New Year, I can get along to Area 51 and work out how I want the front end to look like. I'm considering sixteen inch wide yokes. That's just a couple of inches wider than the stock night train front end but with the larger diameter tubes, the wider wheel and twin disc set-up the effect should be much beefier.
I'm still toying with the idea of buying some of the more expensive stuff "pre VAT increase". Then they'll be paid for and, although I wont be ready to fit them they will be there when needed. I'm thinking about the exhausts, the tank and the speedo though each of them have alternatives and I'm still swithering over which to get.
Once bought I'll be committed to that look or set up so will need to be sure before spending.
When it comes to the tank and speedo It'd probably be better to do as much I can at once. That way I'll be able to get rid of both the EFI and maybe even the ECM units as their functions will be taken over by non electronic bits.
