Tiny updates.

Threw an ignition advancer in today

slottled the holes on one of my pickups (gotta love having two of every thing) and supposedly this has earned my 4 degrees, which also according to a mad engine guru I've been talking = a very happy ZZR600 motor

A fellow KB member Enzo dropped by today and I've scored a GSXR1000 K7 left hand muffler from him, better picky that up then and get picks.
Will take my headers to a mate in Dannevirke and get them made in to a 4-1 system

Got my tank mounted idiot lights wiring started too and a front guard idea started.

Also, figured I can actually run the OEM brake lines from the 600 for now, so that's another priority moved down the list

Might pull the air horns out of my Corolla and smack them up her bum too...

Lots of rockin' going on.

Does indeed,coming along nicely.

**ducatilover** · 29th January 2012, 11:37

Cheers chaps.

Plan of attack today, figure out what bolts the front callipers need and order them.
Look at wires and scratch my head.
Might do some sanding on the tail unit.
Scratch my head more.

**ducatilover** · 22nd February 2012, 14:50

Lots of wiring sorted.
Battery mount made in the tail this time

Seat mount all done.

And an epic progress pic

I agree, it was raining and I don't want to get my not quite dry primer wet...umm...yeah.
When I can whip it out the garage, I'll get pics up.

I am hoping to score a headlight tomorrow and have the idea/design for mounts sorted.
Cross your fingers and hope I win the auction

**AllanC** · 23rd February 2012, 10:40

That's starting to look really good! Keep the pics coming

**ducatilover** · 27th February 2012, 13:29

I missed out on the headlight I wanted

so the search is on again, want a single light 6in or smaller.
Will deal with any round light for the right price though.

Got 'er in the sun at the moment, have started sanding the primer flat and have slapped more finishing putty on her.
Before sanding.
