Like Si says, it's rebirth is well under way.
New frame prepaired and fitted with the Triumph Rear End, engine repaired and back in, new forks back in original yokes (were still straight  ) but with new head bearings. Just finished fitting the SV1000 top rad to replace the ugly TLR top rad I was using. Made a new raised rear subframe and repaired the kinked exhaust can.
I'm re-working the wiring loom today to route some of the wiring further from the exhaust and incorporate the +/- mods aswell as soldering all the crimps throughout as it always had a nigling stuttery tickover and never started first tap of the button.
Loads still to do including a full paint job again but it will be ready in plenty of time for the May BMF show  |

Well done Sam I was lucky enough to see it at the BMF, and unlucky enough to be on that fateful run out  Can't wait to see it in it's MK2 state Just make sure it is faster than Si's new TL
