And finally, Wookie's 82 begins !

Also managed to get the stand assembled and re-fitted after plating the required parts and fitted the OEM (Suzuki) chain guard with some spacers to move it in as necc, it's going to want a trim though (too long !)
I also got my hydraulics back from the blaster, any UK guys looking for blasting in the East Midlands I would highly recommend Shawn at "Vapour-shine" he's a really nice retired guy who works from a shop at the bottom of his garden and is really fair with his prices. He did my parts in 2 days for $50 (just don't be a rush if you go there though, that boy can talk )

My buddy "Honda Alan" is from Sunderland and he's another expat that talks a mile a minute, very knowledgeable on all things Honda! Not sure if that is a English trait or not. We usually camp out together at the swap meet, he is a retired Engineer who worked in nuclear power production. He does the talking for both of us, I do the drinking

Keep up the good work, bike is looking great.

Bike is looking fantastic Guy. Your abilities never fail to impress me. I must pop over and see it in the flesh when you are available.
