Gary, I should have used POR15 before I had it painted. When Gronk did his there was a whole lota shaking going on..

Yep i remember thinking to myself if any one can see me now... as i walked around the garden shaking a petrol tank!!

I have got a bit more done today.
I have cleaned and primed the petrol tank again. I just need to check that the leak has been sealed. Then I can repaint it.
Also my new reg/rec arrived.
I have reused the connectors because the fitted wires are a bit on the short side. Only took me 15 mins.


I connected it up to the bike and it was holding a steady 14.8v. I am going to make a stainless steel mounting bracket so that I can keep the original mounting holes.

And the worlds most anoying job done tooo, fitting the center stand springs...
Just the tank and reg/rec to sort, then I can book it in for its MOT....

Yep it is Freddy. Good spot by you. I just want to make a bracket to mount it, because I don't want to drill the head light cowl. Also I can bring the wires underneath the unit without it being pressed up against the underside the cowl.

ok , glad you are happy , now somebody find me a new clutch cheap!

Have had it running today, but the headers were glowing cherry red. Had the mixture screw set from 1 1/2 to 3 turns out. Rechecked valve clearances and timing. Going to change the carb to manifold rubber tomorrow. Is there anything else to check?
