Tidying up my 1996 XJ600n

[Frog]

When I bought my 600 it needed some tidying up although it was running well and had an MOT.

It looked better in the picture than a detailed look showed it was:-



Things to do have included:-

• Front and rear brakes strip and tidy up
  Clean up and spray wheels - going to be gold
  Braided hose front and back
  Seat recover
  New tyres
  Adjustable fork caps
  Fork oil
  replace chain
  Sprocket carrier bearing
  chain oiler
  valve clearances
  carb balance
  Fit a rack
  Respray tank
  Brighter headlamp
  Fender extender
  Fork gaitors
  Fitting for a sat nav
  Rear shock

Quite a bit to do but it will put my stamp on it and make it fit for my purpose - light touring and trips to see distant friends.

I've been doing a little bit most days and it is surprising how much progress you can make. I'm keeping costs down through, where possible, using materials and parts I already have and, where I need to buy stuff, shopping around and not worrying if a slow boat from china is involved.
I'll share some things on here when I feel they may be helpful to others.
