Gidday Fellas,

Project is slowly moving forward.

Frame given a facelift and tidy up earlier today and then the swing-arm, center stand, rear sub-frame and shockers were reinstalled later.

Is starting to look clean and neat once again

Grant,
I had a BMW T shirt years ago that had a saying on it. "The shortest distance between 2 points...... is boring" Make the effort and ruin the previous owners life!!!!!

Sure, but Canberra? I understand even your legislators don't like going there.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Gidday Fellas,

Stainetunes installed plus wheels came back from the hydroblasters which came up very well, carbies and petcocks soaked, cleaned then polished with new rubbers and gaskets added and back on the bike.

PS - RS bars sitting on there and I don't mind the look of them actually.

Gidday Fellas,

Shit even I got confused, posting the wrong photos to the wrong thread of the wrong bike

This is the now finished product of the once blue r100/7T

Gidday,

First decent run on the bike today, a 230km loop for lunch over to the Yarram Hotel to catch up with my cousin then down along the South Gippsland Hwy to Foster and back over the hills through Mirboo North and across to home... It run perfect, just hums lovely and I also done a fuel refill after the first 100kms as a test to see what it would return..

109 kms traveled at 110-120kph and I put in 5.8 Litres of fuel, was happy with that
