Chassis sorted, all bits and bobs secured where they should be, looking forward to getting the motor finished tomorrow and hopefully have it running Monday... fingers crossed!

Hopefully Stu will find the bits i'm borrowing off Bunker tomorrow!

Had another fun day in the workshop today! Chassis finished, just waiting for some bits to finish the engine before that goes in.....

Question on electrics.... front brake light switch wires are not making the brake light come on even if the wires are touched together? Rear brake works fine????

A big thanks to Craig and Emma at Apophis Parts for providing new parts and our main man Simon for letting me loose in his workshop liberating bits that Stu smashed when he fell off!! The bikes taking shape and should be all ready for N Wales, thanks again for all your help..

Now how do i fix the brake light ready for the MOT... :)

I'm not sure it's ever worked actually Gary, I kept replacing the the little switch in the lever thinking it was that. But had always passed the mot?

I think if at least one of the brake levers, either front or back,operates the brake light then it will pass

:D Great! Its ready for MOT then!......When the engine is back in!

I'd still like to fix it proper tho, There is continuty between the wires to the rear brake switch and back light and the red wire has 12v to it too, so why no working???? :? :roll:
