I've got hold of some decent selector forks from a z1000 and all new gaskets . I'm hoping to remove the sump and change the selector forks very soon. Been held up by the fact that I've lost the use of my workshop and I'm having to work in a cramped space in my backyard.

Four and a half years later, some progress. hillbilly, I ended up extending the kitchen in my house so the bike ended up in there for a while and then in storage. Anyhow, the problems now solved because I've now got a place from where no one can ever make me move my bikes or better still disturb me when I m playing with my bikes.

Now the space issue is sorted, I'm going to do things properly. Engine out and stripdown to give everything a healthcheck. I'm competent with top end rebuilds but never done a full engine rebuild. Can't wait to get started, hopefully this weekend.

Last update March 2004. No change for a few years but looking promising it will on the road this summer. Free road tax from April will make it happen. Touch wood.
