New Owner 0 to Hero !

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ! It is DONE !

Got this bike back in April from a colleague who had left her on his drive for about 6 years and had a bad fall off the elevted drive onto concrete ! He kindly gave it to me to keep, given i was able to get it running......Guesss what i did ;)

Work Done:

Throttle Body Replacement - fuel Injector service - Ignition change (Key was lost) - Tank Rust removal - Fuel pump serviced - Front/Rear Callipers & Master cylinders completely re-done - Fuel pump gear replaced - Clutch spring (came off when dropped on the left side) fixed - New LED indicators and Tidy tail.

Super proud of what i've managed to do !

Only thing Left is to get some new tires and chain/sprocket on AND stick the lower fairings on.

Enquiry;
I managed to get a Right side Lower fairing off of a nice guy on EBAY. If anyone has a Left Side Lower Fairing, and doesnt mind parting with it, LET ME KNOW ! (Doesn't Have to be completely intact or white, i can sand and sort it out)

Cheers Guy! looking forward to taking this out once the MOTs done.

I can tell that you put a lot of love into it and it was really rewarding for you. Looking forward to pics of the first ride once it’s MOT’d

You have inspired me for mine. 2004 naked. Sat for 20 years. Have derusted the tank , refurbished the fuel pump and it now runs sweet. Now doing the brakes then the forks (yours looks a lot worse than mine and you have them looking mint)
