I had to rub down and re-clearcoat the front mudguard as I had laid it down on the painted side before it had fully cured and ended up with a pattern from the towel it was lying on on the gloss. That's been re-sprayed and wont be touched for as long as I can leave it.
I bought a cobalt drill bit yesterday and it is amazing how easily it went through the stainless strap compared to the HSS ones. I've ordered a couple more from flea-bay and should be able to finish drilling and mount the seat next weekend.
I should also get the tank painted and hopefully fitted. Then it's just a few little things to be sorted and a final check done before booking a MOT. I may have to re-bleed the front brakes as they seem a little spongy. I'll do that before I fit the front mudguard.
Talking about mudguards, the rear one is coming on. I need to keep recharging my batteries for my drill as making the holes for the pannier supports takes more than one charge. As soon as that's done I'll take the guard off (once more) and start prepping for painting.
