Quite a bit of progress this weekend…. While this monkey carefully tagged all the wiring and removed the loom, the other monkey was busy pannel-beating the under-belly of our pre-loved 250Z tank into a shape that will fit onto the Honda frame. With the wiring loom removed, we were also able to lower the front shocks through the tripple-clamp about 5cm. Enough to fit those (disappointingly cheap and nasty) clip-ons that I’d bought for $50 on eBay. You get what you pay for – even on eBay, and there’s no escaping the fact that we’re going to have to shell out for some better quality bars some time down the track, but these’ll do for now and it certainly changes the bikes profile for the better.
