Right, been in the cave stripping the bike down and finding all the PO bodge jobs and fuck ups !!!! First off is the alarm that's been crudely fitted and spliced into main loom, bare wires wrapped in black tapped !!! Alarms getting removed and then gonna solder and heat shrink the joins. Rear light and homemade tail tidy is laughable once you get the panels off and have a look at it. Anyways nothing that can't be sorted.. Now for pictures not sure what was on the camera lens but makes for interesting pics!? All the header bolts came out but 3 were right bastards to get out. Had to use over size torx bits and hammer them into the rusted heads. Whoever fitted the bolts didn't even copper slip the bolts!!! Back out there this evening to remove the rest of the alarm and may get the carbs and air box off.

I put copper grease on every bolt everywhere (except ones with locktite) and my mate asked why? If you'd seen his slingshot you'd see he never uses it ever.

Yeah. Bikes really dusty from being in the po workshop also a lot of oily patches hidden by the bellypan. Nothing leaking just road grime and lack of cleaning. so gonna deep clean it before putting anything together.
