Over the winter the bike was stripped to its bare bones, and then slowly rebuilt with the 1260 kit, a fully braced frame, and wheels and front suspension from a 1996 Kawasaki ZX6RF1. Each time I encountered a problem, (and there were a few to solve along the way), a solution presented itself, and I'm eternally indebted for the help and advice I got from parts suppliers, specialists, and ordinary readers who took an interest in the project and gave me invaluable tips based on their own hands-on experience. Somehow it made the bike a real team effort.
