Now, I've also started accumulating some other bits and pieces that will be needed;
Clutch springs
Bearings
Complete Gasket set
Fork bushes and seals

As well as spare cylinders (in excellent condition I might add)
spare rear cylinder head with HRC hose
Spare tank
Steering damper (needs rebuild)

My plan is to do a ground up rebuild of the chassis (new bearings everywhere) and a top end rebuild on the engine. Having said that the engine will be coming apart to remove those nasty casting burr's and the like. Hopefully the crank is in good order as I'm not keen on replacing that yet!

My plans so far (other than bolting on all the tasty bits listed above) are;
Powder coat wheels (black)
Powder coat swing arm (to fit my planned replica paint scheme)
Powder coat Fork bottoms
Powder coat other misc. parts as I deem worthy (top triple clamp comes to mind)
Rebuild front calipers (and possibly master cylinder)
Bead blast engine cases/cylinders etc to give it that 'new' look
Run total loss
Pod Air filters (no airbox but I can't bring myself to run just open carbs)
Remove oil pump
Investigating running a GPT GPS timer/dash
Hand make a new wiring loom
Refresh all bolts with tasty stainless and alloy where ever possible
Rebuild front and rear suspension (rear unit I will have to send off)
If I can find enough information I may have a go at some mild porting. We shall see.

As the bike still hasn't shipped yet I will kick things off with building myself a timber workbench (I've no garage and have to do most of the work on the back deck) and paint the bodywork at my friends place. This of course means a second round of painting when the bike arrives and I have a petrol tank!

I added up the money spent so far and got a bit of a fright. I will probably try and sell off the stock bodywork and some of the road gear to help resuscitate my credit card. Once I'm done riding this little beastie it will get a tidy up and preparation, and be sealed into a perspex box to become the feature 'bar' in my man shed (when I stop spending money on bikes and buy a house).
