Makes for interesting reading and will no doubt spur me on to overhauling one of my Mk3s
Looking forward to seeing photos of the finished article.

The cost of refurbishing a bike that looks complete and in good condition costs just as much as refurbishing a bike in bad condition.

If you start at the front wheel and finish at the back wheel, replacing all bearings, seals, top end, gaskets, exhausts system, repaint and refurb of rest of bike etc, the costs really do mount up.

I think some bikes are stripped for a minor refresh, and when they see the cost of suspension and swingarm bearings, top end kit, exhaust, stickers, and scores of other items the cost is prohibitive and the bike gets dismantled for parts.

Not a bad thing as I purchased a complete swingarm and suspension linkages on ebay for £35, included new swingarm bearings in a honda packet.

The bearings would have cost me £100 from a dealer.

I was just wondering, where i have an oil sensor on my frame, you just have a bolt blanking the hole and i didnt see a picture of the sensor fitted before the seat went on. My question is do you have the sensor removed? Because they do tend to leak oil and in the past mine has been no different. Mine has been resealed with silicone but i expect itll leak again one day. I wonder if there is a way around this

They usually leak where the wires come out the bung & not from around the edges

the bung itself was loose on mine and it was dripping oil from where it wasnt tight in the frame, i resealed it with silicone when i bought the bike and it hasnt been a problem since. i dont know how long that will last though, could be ten years, could be ten weeks

Well lets hope it lasts as they're £45 new as mine was leaking from the wires , i tried to take the bung out knowing i'd probably break it & i didn't disappoint

Sorry to revive an old thread but i just noticed this is my bike lol i knew she was well taken care of but im glad to see the quality of the work done , sadly the exhhaust blew causing the top end to go with under 500 miles on it. The wheels also were beyond use when i went to replace the tyres so i had the wheels rebuilt with gold sm pro rims , gold powdercoated hubs and stainless spokes. I have replaced the full exhaust with a dep system but i want to have the fmf pipe repaired if possible as it felt like it made more power. She will now be getting a full engine rebuild to keep her alive.

Nice find bud
