Refitted the swingarm (the replacement £50 ebay win), completed the rear wheel rebuild and noticed I had a smaller disc than I should have, I made a mistake when ordering it.....but I've got another coming soon.

 

Cleaned up the front sprocket zone and removed a handful of grease/oil/soil composite material.

 

The sidestand pivot and gear lever pivot were very worn and loose, which I've managed to cure by building the shafts up with self adhesive hardened stainless shim tape.

 

Then removed the swingarm again because i forgot to feed the chain around it first

 

Took delivery of some satin black wheel paint with an unusual odour. It's not xylene but it's something as dubious as that by the smell of it. And painted the wingrack mounting brackets to test it. It dries quick and sticks well

 

It's not going to be mint when I'm done, but it will look better than it might otherwise do considering it's done 107000 miles
