Thanks to issue 10 of Sideburn hitting the mat, I've perked up and got on with SB#3. It was another day of doing all the little jobs, the ones that you don't really see. Still, the bike has gone away for the day and I have that feeling of satisfaction, the oily black nails and cut hands that only a day of fettling can provide.
Got a little job done on SB#3 last night. Made the exhaust hanger up. 2 x 16x16 8mm id stainless steel spacers, and a length of 16mm od 316 tube. All I need to do now is make an exhaust strap up, as the ebay one looks bloody awful. Another job off the list.
