Fitted rear indicators and finished the wiring yesterday. Everything works which is unusual for me. Waiting for some parts now, so I am off to weld up a lounger frame.

My bigger pictures are too big to upload on here. Anyway. Getting on with the wiring and refurb of the instrument binacle. Air filters fitted and the side panels plopped on...for now. Tank temp fitted, waiting for new silencers and chain and sprockets at the moment.

Slowly getting the heap back together. Want to refoam and cover the seat to try and slim it down a touch. Would also like to lower the rear end a touch, that huge gap between the tyre and the mudguard...yuk.

Replaced the front indicators this morning and sorted the speedo. Now tackling the switch gear, kill button was not working and the starter button was missing. Lucky I have loads of spares that came with the bikes. Waiting for front caliper seal kits x two, then I can get the front brakes working. Tony.

Morning. The starter motor was not engaging properly so I have taken the alternator cover off for a look see. There apears to me mucho slack in the starter chain, is this normal? I have about 15mm of slack? :( Or shall I just do away with the electric starter altogether.

Wheels cleaned and fitted. Center stand does not seem big enough to hold the bike properly, will fudge it for now with a bit of wood. I expect once the bike is done I will just stick with the side stand and take it off.

Today we have been maily doing. Front forks. Yolks and bearings sorted. Polished up the fork legs and fitted them along with the headlamp brackets. Next job is front mudguard and centre stand, then I can lift it down and fit the wheels. Tony

Started cleaning up and putting bits back on the frame. Not going to be a pristine restoration but a minor refurb. Tony

Swingarm bearings are great, no slop or play in them at all.
