    If enough people fancy a set I can do, obviously will be slightly different to the sato ones but retaining the quality :)

    I'd offer you the same reply as I gave to @Lozzy when she was touting for my SP2 , although a lot less eloquent!;)

    Got the Sato hooks delivered today and they are already out for the anodising to be stripped. Then when they come back they can go out to be anodised again and then make some models of them up

    Got the spacers for the street hooks from @Stuish (thank you very much mate, much appreciated) so spent a little time making a form tool up for the lathe. I then reconditioned the original Sato bolts, first I polished one but then decided to go with a vapour blasted finish as it will hold up better than the shiny shiny of a polished finish. Unfortunately didn’t get chance to machine my own spacers today as needed to get home.

    Will machine them possibly Sunday or if not next Friday - will likely get them titanium colour anodised when the hooks come back from stripping.

    Really should start fitting some items to the bike now but am picking the project bike up tomorrow and hoping to score a discount on a racefit Monday ;):)

    As for the blade, she’s still under the cover plugged in in the garage. Winter sucks :(:(

    Further to my post a few pages back, painted the garage, threw in the electrics (still have to put the tails in the board), fitted the gutters, and the last two days been building a work bench from a pair of tool cabinets. Quite pleased. Getting closer to being able to use it now.
    Oh yeah, also got my genuine YAMAHA bike mat.

    Thanks @kirkwall32 , due to the 8x2 timbers on top being softwood I’m gonna fit an 18mm hardwood sacrificial ply liner tomorrow but I’ll probably source a sheet of 6mm steel at some point.

    spent 10 minutes machining some spacers for the race hooks, (literally ten minutes - that’s why they look a bit rough!) also cleaned the heads of the bolts up quickly toi

    I wish I had a Lathe in my garage, I'd spend hours machining stuff.

    It’s certainly a good way to lose a few hours if you let it ;):)

    I’m much the same mate, used to have hundreds of pictures of all the parts I’ve made over the last couple of years, not got them anymore :( otherwise I’d be spamming your inbox :D
