These brutes do extract their price for 'being put right' as you might say , but this is of course how the bond is built.
A+ for persistence Neil!

A Speed Triple on fast, curvy roads must be a blast.
All this work on your resto will make the first long even better.

Re: 79 silver now red cbx project done !
well it almost done.
MOT (required evey year in england) yesterday,
did 20 miles before battery ran flat, due to alternator on it way out, so i have orded an upgraded from Tim,s £££ $$$ so just waiting for that to arrive.
then I can see how it runs, as at present seem to be a bit sluggish under 3,000 rpm.

Very nice! Are you using the sport kit throttle cables in a high-bar housing?

Re: 79 silver cbx project
throttle grip had slipped off a bit in the picture, the throttle cable going down are from a switch i got from the USA, i have fixed the original one now and installed it so throttle cable come out from the top now.
exhaust is from predator exhaust in the UK full stainless steel system guaranteed for 10 years.

Re: 79 silver cbx project
I like the look of the exhaust and with the flat collection area it should be good for ground clearance.
