On Monday the postman didn’t deliver anything and I didn’t manage to get anything done to the bike.
Overnight Monday to Tuesday I lost a bid on eBay UK for a set of rebuilt polished forks, I set my price but someone was prepared to pay more. I did, however, win some bling from eBay US in the form of a pair of Chrome LED running lights. The postman was overloaded with parcels today. I got the studs to replace the rusty ones on the drivers back rest, the remaining parts to re-fit the rear indicator from Midlands Superbikes and a parcel of assorted Honda parts from David Silver Spares in the UK. I now have the pinstripes to take round to the painters for the front mudguard. Again, today, nothing further done to the bike due to having to do some woodturning for a Craft Fair next weekend.
Wednesday I got all the old studs off the drivers back rest and the cloth underneath is in poor condition so I will take it to a local repairer tomorrow to get the panel replaced. I missed a couple of items on eBay US overnight, nothing important it just would have been easier than stripping and re-chroming.
Thursday I won a set of Progressive air shocks on UK eBay for £51 ($84) which I think was a bargain, saves me having to do anything with the originals which are slightly pitted. I took the stripes to the painters so that they can finish the front mudguard for me and the back rest to the trimmers.
Didn’t get anything done for the rest of the week as I am still busy making wooden turned items for next weekends Craft Fair. To finish the week on a low I was the underbidder on Saturday on a Valk headlight on US eBay. Still it went for more than I was prepared to pay. I don’t think I’ll manage to do much next week either BUT the following week I hope to go to the chromers.
