Been a while since I've thrown anything up here... Been busy! Eventually got the bike back together but... the electrics were messed up. Probably by me!! So the only way out was to get the bike down to my local shop to get sorted. Been in there over the xmas break so should be on the road in a few weeks.


Getting the bike down to the garage was hilarious. I thought doing it early meant there would be nobody around. I thought wrong, had to squeeze the bike into a half full lift!!! The building manager already authorised it, but the oldies in the lift didn't have a clue. They just stared the whole ride down. I just stared back and gave them a "Morning."

Thanks dudes. Sorting the electrics was a hassle. I thought I had everything right until I connected up the batteries and the starter went off! No oil or fuel in the engine! Shat myself.


Even considered asking for help on here. Taking step by step photos of the wiring and getting the people who know their sh*t to step me through! Too late now.


Paying for the experts to sort it.

The beast is back. Needs a few tweaks and bits finished before I ride it every day. Runs well and starts first time. Will take some fancy pants photos once it's done.

Braided sleeve indeed. If you're in Australia, you can also pick up a pack from MCAS for about $40. Comes with heat shrink tubing as well. Or look for it on eBay.
