Hurry up postman!!

I have not posted for some time, due to nothing much happening.
We are waiting for the rear shock to turn up.
Steve and Sarah Jordan, of Jordan motorcycles,have sorted a shock for us that is a brand new Ohlins unit, with the remote gas bottle we require, fully adjustable and with a built in ride height adjuster which should help us get the shock where it needs to be.
Anyway.... I have been test fitting the tank, fairing, seat unit and belly pan and furiously buying various bits and pieces. Ive spent more time on ebay than in the workshop.
The seat unit is new and is from an OWO1 and the belly pan is new and from an FZR1000.
I found a spare rear wheel and disc, which completes the spare set for wets, so another set of wheels to paint!
I really hope that shock turns up soon. Less than a month left before the CTC tset day at Mallory.
I think I'll be using my RSV for that!
The new additions to the bodywork fit a treat.
Not so sure on the look of the bellypan but it has to stay to act as a catch tray in the event of an oil or water leak.
We agree here that the seat unit is in keeping.
Time is getting short.....i feel a rush coming on.......hurry up postman!!
