So, it’s been 3 years, 9 months, 4 days since the last update. What can I say, I’ve been busy! Mostly rescuing old computers from Europe (https://ibms360.co.uk/) amongst other things… Nothing has really happened with the bike. I moved it up to my workshop in late 2019 and thats mostly where its sat since. I’ve acquired a few parts for it here and there like a clean, un-dented tank and some gaskets etc. but thats about it. I went up to the workshop this evening and pulled it out of the back. I made a list of parts I need to move it along, things like rubber grommets for the radiator mounts etc. and I also had a rummage through the garage for some of the parts I was missing (like 3 of the inlet rubbers, which were on the old cylinder head), and put them to one side. I couldn’t find the rubber heat shield from the top of the engine or the two plastic covers, so I ordered them from a breaker on eBay today. Heres how she sits now:
Hopefully I’ll get some work done on her soon, and maybe 2021 will be the year I get this (now almost classic status!) R1 back on the road!
