      @@dariustheman6934 Cool. Good luck with the A test.
      Yeah I have them away at the moment with a professional painter as I want them to be as good as possible. Hopefully they will be back in the next few weeks because I can’t wait to get her back on the road.

    Coming along beautifully! Excellent work 👍😊
    On such a colour scheme, the bike would surely look even better with a black and gold Supersprox Stealth rear sprocket, I have one on mine and it really goes along nicely with the golden D.I.D chain .. or you could try powder coating the one you already have in black or gold .. just the body of course, not the teeth!
    You'll find out after your first test ride, that the bike won't handle well nealing in to curves with the fork heads level with the 750 triple tree surface, but that's a "rake and trail" adjustment you'll make after testing the bike .. mine for example are embedded about 1cm below the surface. When level, the bike won't lean.
    Seems like you forgot to refit the front mud guard? If so, then the front wheel may have to come off again 🙃

      Thanks for that info. I just had the standard 600 top yoke on it before so wasn’t sure where to set it.
      I’ll get a look at that sprocket too.
      As for the mudguard it’s still off at the painters and I was just getting excited to get it looking like a bike and get it mobile. Lol.

    Hello mate. I am looking into converting the top yoke on mine to 750 setup. In part 7 you mentioned you did not get the right top yoke. Was it the case of getting the wrong year? I guess 2003 onwards the forks are wider? Thanks

    • @DarrenMcKinney1
      @DarrenMcKinney1  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello David. Yes that is exactly right. The newer model is around 10mm wider. I have the lower section of it that’s too wide for mine I think.
      If you don’t have measurements on the site you are buying them off if you study the pictures carefully you can see a slight difference near the centre of it.
      I got mine off boonstraparts.com but they didn’t mention years on all of their parts so just maybe ask them for year or measurements to be sure

    • @DarrenMcKinney1
      @DarrenMcKinney1  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If your stuck for measurements I could send you pics and measurements of the 03 onwards one I have here if need be by email or something

      @@DarrenMcKinney1 Thank you for the quick reply. I think I will be getting mine from ebay. There are quite a few available on there. They usually state the year of the bike it comes from. I guess years around 98-00 should be fine. Well if you could find me on messenger and send some photos of what not to buy, that would be great :)
