Hi Xmas,
it would have been better if the vidio had told us how to turn banana's in to fuel
That's easy, just ferment them into methanol or something.

Shouldn't be too much of an issue. I've fitted universal cables, although they're not stainless braided. The only difficulty may be cutting the housing (that's the outer).
The basic procedure is to remove the inner and fit the housing to the bike. Once you're 100% happy with the routing, cut it to length. You can guy cable cutters, but for a one-off I'd use a hacksaw or dremel if you have one. It's best to make sure the end is square, so a file is useful too.
What is the carb end like? nipple or clamp <fnarr>. If it's a clamp then you connect the inner to the twistgrip and feed it through. At the other end, clamp it and cut off the excess.
If it's a nipple they you'll need to find one the correct shape and size and solder it to the inner. It's best to feed the inner through as above, then figure out where the nipple needs to be and cut the inner. Then remove the cable and solder the nipple to it. You don't necessarily have to remove it from the twistgrip for this.
These may be of use:

Burnley's not that far away either.

The handlebars are DEFINITELY gonna go asap.
Yep, I had one and those bars are terrible. Like holding a wheelbarrow. I swapped mine for Triumph Bonneville export bars, much better but that wouldn't give the look you want.
Good luck with it!

It's tomorrow, which is Father's day. Now since I am a father, I should get to do what I want. But I also have a father so we're taking him out to lunch so I can't go.

Crazy trafic but a great vid. do you have any more ??
Sorry, that's all I have. The traffic is crazy, but easy to carve through if you're aggressive. Just use the horn plenty!

Nice...
How high is that?

Bits of that remind me of this:
Dunno why, it's rather different...

Going to the bank:
And back home again:
Recorded when I lived in the Philippines, using a cheap Panasonic Digisnap stuck with velcro to the front master cylinder of this
At the end of second one you'll see a fridge being delivered by motorbike and sidecar.

I've seen bits of this in someone's avatar, not sure if it's here or not.

It is a front brakelight switch, and I tried asking the vendor but got no reply.
I want to know if it's physically the same as the clutch one. I suspect they have different part numbers as the wires will be different colours, so a parts list probably won't help.
I suppose I could just buy it and see.

PS The reflector is built into the bottom of the mudguard
First time I took mine for an MOT it didn't have a reflector so the tester stuck two 10p sized ones on the number plate and passed it.

Stumbling and dying sounds more like fuel than electrics. Doing it when hot suggests running too rich, but I think you know that.
Is the choke sticking on?
How easily does it start from cold? Choke required?
And finally, how's the fuel tank vent? If that's blocked it will die after a short while. Next time it dies, open the tank and listen for the inrush of air.

I'm looking to replace the switch on my clutch as the wiring on the current one is rather tatty
Would this work?

that - and helps keep 'em a bit cooler!
Yep, those alloy rims get pretty hot...
