TEN ... the Countdown has Begun!!!!

Finally... it's Assembly time.. the bits that need the beauticians have been or are going .. Out at the Shed last nite we started with the front wheel, on the hoist clamped tightly in.. then the '07 front forklegs with new black stockings.. (check build up pics you'll see gold bottoms on forks) with the frame cleaned out all over spray, reattached compliance plate,   
Young Mick Buffed up the custom made headstock Ally Dust cover, (shiny) then the $105 bearing went on, tightened,  tested lock to lock .. swingarm went on next, very tight no movement at all with the new poly bushes..
while Mick was buffing rear spindle ends and adjusters I fitted the footpeg hangers and rear subframe with the new stainless Bolts from GPz zone catalogue in UK.. there is just the right amount of shiny bling bits going onto the bike.. 
Rear wheel next with shiny stainless spacers.. beautiful.. so nice to see her coming together.. truly a butterfly emerging type moment.. 3 hours pasted so quickly..  so before leaving I quickly added seat, upper and lower fairing brackets for a pic to show you guys..
Final Paint colour is definitely decided as Atomic Metallic.. so prep work to begun on that shortly.. feeling like a happy chappy.. for so long looking at the bike in build mode and now she has her nice new Satin Black underwear .. very sexy.. the engine is on for a tartup next wednesday.. degrease, blowdry and paint then back into the frame.. then hookup electric stringwhich is being double checked by Techco Cuz' Maurice.. really looking forward to hearing the engine fireup and the sound from the custom exhaust system... Patience.. this is when we need it most...
