Been away on the sick list [ very sick ] for the past 5 years and quite intense for the past 3.

The good news is that I am now in remission from the Kidney issue [ CKD ] and apart from bouts of tiredness and fatigue - I'm good to go. Laughing

The very good news is that when things looked terminal and I threw all the toys out of the pram I sold off most of my projects - both 2 and 4 wheels.

Fortunately my Kay project was in safe storage down at RAM HQ, and when I finally got the all clear [ 'ish ], it was pick up where I left off 5 years ago !

I HAD already sold off the 5 spoke / 4 pot conversion, so had to gather all those parts again. Good old E-Bay !!

So there we are and I look forward to "meeting" all my old pals over here - just have to keep taking the meds !! . Wink

Finally fettled the RAASK rearsets where my pal's mechanics [?] had simply hacked off the pillion rest mounts and just left them!

They've now been rounded off and made to look "factory". I was going to use my Tarrozi rearsets, then remembered I'd earmarked them for the KZ Cafe Racer project. Probably have the mounts powder coated to match the wheels and other accents.

All the parts have finally arrived now and all in excellent condition - especially the calipers which don't need rebuilding. The front wheel is a bit scabby, but no biggie as I'm having them both blasted and powder coated.
