DT50 after 1986. You're welcome.

Ah. The jimmy saville method.

Is it finished yet?

Use a couple of threaded rods (6mm for the TS) of fleabay and a couple of old metal bars cut from a roof rack.

I fully understand. When I was working on the TS I rode it around the garden once which was it's first ride since 1995. The first real ride was 12 miles to to MOT station a couple of days later.

True............................ It needs a darn good thrashing. But it shouldn't be leaking there so check for a leak, pinch up the header/exhaust connector.

Dependant on the type. The easiest way is to connect them straight to the battery. Red to the +ve and black to the -ve. The disadvantage is that anyone can come along and turn them on when the ignition is off. Next simplest is to wire them to a lighting circuit. This should be done via a relay so check if the grips have a relay included. Disadvantage is that they will only work with the lights on. Last is to a part of the ignition. This needs a relay too but means that they will only work when the ignition is on and are not lights dependant. Disadvantage is that this is a little harder than the first 2 options. There is a link in my signature to take you to the intro section for a "proper" hello if you feel the need. It should help with replies.

As Slice re the intro. Yes and yes, if you know what you are doing. Just some simple wiring.

With chips?

ha ha ha

It looks quite tidy. Time to check it over to make sure it is safe to ride and reliable.

So am I. They can kill you and hurt a lot when they hit you (or you hit them). The day I stop worrying about cars is the day I give up riding. The problem is, when riding is in your blood, it never goes away.

Hi and welcome. Safe riding is more about experience, attitude, maturity, roadcraft, awareness and the like than having a disk brake or better lights. My mum said similar things when I was looking at buying my first bike.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I agree with foamy about the speed.

Take the tank off and the air filter out. Squirt some wd40 into the airbox hole where it goes into the throttle body. Open the throttle full and push the starter on a jump lead.

The SV stays out all year and gets ridden.

It might take me "back to the future" Mike, but I wouldn't want the stuff sitting between my legs like that.Ohhhhhh noooooo!

Nic wax wash.

I am no scientist but I often deal with scary stuff. Stuff you wouldn't want to breath in or touch. it includes radioactive stuff in different forms including isotopes, DNA replicators and the like. I recently brought a couple of Linacs (linear accelerators) and a Tomotherapy machine. All have to be housed is really thick concrete bunkers. Have a quick Google! I am looking to buy a couple of MRI's (Magnetic resonance imaging) next. They are safe though, just a giant 5 ton magnet spinning around. The radioactive stuff does give me the creeps though! I do have an interesting job - I think so at least. This does include stuff like the above that will kill you very nastily and quickly in the wrong doses. Radioactive stuff

That is the University that is linked to my work. I always feel nervous when I am in a room with some of these type of elements, even though I know they are very, very securely contained. I always get an eerie feeling. Brrrrrr...............

It might be the way forward. £10 for 3 years! I don't think he is going to retire on that anytime soon. Cheaper than ebay and it gives access to other areas of the forum with discounts and the like and paid members only chat.

I have "parked" 2 for sale threads today. These are now not viewable to forum members. The reason was as Airheads post above. I don't tend to inform posters when I do this - not sure if the other Mods do.
