The overall quailty so far seems ok, no major issues with anything, offered up wishbones etc all bracketing looks ok. diff mounting holes were 0.5-1
mm out but a quick file and it slid in.
Pre cut panels have been a bit out. Yes there is alway trimming to be done but the floor panel angles were off to the chassis rails in places but
I've managed to sort it fairly well. The odd delivery scuff/scratch on the powder coating to touch up, all in all. not bad
The only main issues has been the book and CD, not much use. Build blogs and diarys have been more use with alot more useful info along with Tiger
owners club site and this site.

Brake/clutch degreaser, brush and then a wire wheel in an angle grinder. 2 coats of etch primer 3 satin black paint 2 clear coat.
I'm happy with the results, didn't take that long either. All bearings and seals have been replaced as well.

Not much done this weekend, just a few more panels cut and bent ready for fitting. I started to fully fix brake lines at the front also. fuel line and
wiring loom through the tunnel next then time to fix the panels for good.

It's been a while since the last update. With a knackered back stopping me dead for weeks, the baby, NVQ exams, wedding anniversary and
Christmas all getting in the way, I can see now how it can take so long to build these things.
Lots of smaller bits done and out the way whilst my back recovered so here's update.
Managed to get the sender drilled and fitted in the tank...

Got a inlet plate from DanST, cut, machined and welded inlet tubes and gave them a lick of high temp graphite paint. hopefully they'll do the
trick???
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
Refurbished my alloys, sanded, metal filled, painted and new center caps fitted...
[img] [/img]

Stripped and cleaned my calipers, painted graphite, replaced seals ready for rebuilding.
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
Plus a bit of painting of other bits, Oil catch tank, fuel pressure regulator both graphite and some brackets black.
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
I've also changed to wide track front wishbones and painted them black, collected a rear roll bar, fitted a few more panels and spent to much on
bits i don't need yet.
The backs sorted now so the next few weeks hopefully will be a lot busier

I'm still not getting as much time as I'd like on the build but its going ok.
I have tried my hand at a little aluminium weld/braze repair to the end cap of my R1 exhaust. Speaking to Yamaha you can't buy them separately
and I didn't want to fork out more on another exhaust that would probably still have the same damage.
The damage all bike exhaust seems to have.
[img] [/img]
Repair patch in place.
[img] [/img]
Welded and ready for tidying up.
[img] [/img]
almost finished, I will probably paint it with some aluminium vht to help hide any imperfections. Its going to be on the bottom side facing the road
so i'm not overly worried.
[img] [/img]
Still waiting for my leaking shock to be replaced so I can finally get her on the ground and get the last panels riveted on should only be 2-3hrs more
work to have her sitting on all 4 wheels. This is how she looks. Engine and wiring next.

"I need to work out how to remove the reverse stop ready for the quickshift and extension... "
Not sure I understand this, why do you need to remove it?

I was wondering that myself? I've been told that when using a remote extension the stop has to be removed to allow the right amount of play???
the book says remove it as well. I'd prefer not to take it out if i don't have to.

I suppose it depends on the remote extension. The one I have (Rally Design I think but not sure) does not need anything removed, it replicates the
reverse blocker in the extension bit, and where it engages with the original it does so without the plastic saddle clip and does not have a shoulder
at that end which would otherwise conflict with the reverse blocker in your photo.
I hope this makes sense.
In any case get the remote of your choice first and offer it up before hacking away.
