White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

OK, nice but these are miscellaneous , where is the main event: final paint job, please!

Would it be the sign of a good author that a book builds suspense?


Where was I? Oh yes, the front end.

Now, a word of caution first along the lines of "don't try this at home"...

With prep work done it was nearing time to remove the front wheel when it occurred to me that I would have to lift the front end. With no bottom yolk stand available and no centre stand (due to Wyvern 4 into 4 exhaust) I had to improvise with what was to hand in the garage. I first tested the weight, lifting the wheel off the deck with a squat lift using the handlebars and decided I had around 75-80kg to support. Two trestles came to the rescue with a length of 1 3/4 sq softwood between, lifting on the back of the lower yolk. To get the beam through I had to remove the brake pipe support for clearance.

Wheel off the floor, the rest was a cinch.
The little bracket on the inside of the right fork tube is for the ABS sensor.
