UPDATE TIME.....

Got left to do - fit front Konis, front 17" wheels, tighten up rear shockers & adjust settings. Finish fitting immobiliser & boost controller. Refit interior trim. Fit new injectors & spark plugs. Fit new rocker cover gasket. Fit new breather/catch tank.

Check all bolts for tightness.

Tax it & test everything out.

Few latest pics....

Update time.....nearly got everything done - still havent got any miles on her yet though....

BUT....my chip arrived from Belgium this morning, my 803s arrived yesterday (BIG thanks to AndyRS & Nutter) - fitting them all later on this afternoon together with my 3BAR then hopefully it will start and run & I get get a little bit of checking done tomorrow morning and get a few miles on her!!!

If not my set of 355s are going in (BIG thanks to iansibbert), they are all cleaned & flowchecked as a backup plan....with standard injectors packed as a further backup plan!!!

35 hours to go......
