    Big thanks to Eric (drz400y), Chrispy, Bones and Cam for coming to un-pull the motor yesterday:zlove::zlove::zlove:

    Other than the 'Stupid Brace' issues it went well. After a slow start we had the motor back in the bay before lunch (Bones's fav: Cara's hotdogs) :)

    After lunch was fitting everything else and connecting the new loom etc.

    All that is left now is:

    fuel lines and fpr plumbed up
    test pipes
    oil pressure and water temp wired in
    ECU back from workshop
    dash trim on drivers side put back

    and I think that's about it :cool:

    Chrispy has some more pics on facebook, but here's a couple of pics of the new look plenum and how it all looks after the days work:cool2::zlove:

    looks really good, is that wrinkle paint on the plenum? i think that the throttle bodys would look good painted to match as well, or maybe polished for some contrast?

    anyway, good luck with it all, like i said looking good so far........

    Won't need to be fixed if he doesn't try to head home again! :p

    I'm hoping to have mine all sorted before the big trip too. :eek:
