Hi guys

This is my first motorcycle and I thought it would be good to document everything as I go along.

Recently bought this motorcycle for what I think was a good price. It had 28 000km on it with service history from Honda. Only problem I could see was that the previous owners dropped it at some point. This fall caused a few scratches and bent a few things. From what I can tell, the handle bars were also replaced.

Please feel free to comment and give advice.

Thanks for reading.


Still on my to do list (in no particular order):
* Rear brake switch spring (might have to revisit, dankie Pietas)
* Floppy mirrors
* Straighten tank plastic cover bracket
* Fit new tyres ront and back
* Straighten headlight/clock bracket
* Neaten front indicator brackets (modified after fall)
* Stiffen up rear indicator standard brackets
* Make a new seat cover (holes in the original)
* Fix/new left side foot peg
* Make some sort of luggage system
* Clean and repaint exhaust
* Tidy up a few surface rust spots
* Polish out/remove scratches from plastics
* Straighten out front forks
* Fit new handle bars and grips
* Change front brake fluid
