Fitted the 12v socket into its new home. Tidyed the loom and moved the regulator 90 degrees, recrimped a badly crimped plug (wasnt mine). Fastened all the front end correctly tightend the head stock and pinch bolt + and stem nut to the 100nm :o moved handle bars painted the horn and made the clock unit fit correctly had to re-bend the bracket (good old 'ammer)


Now waiting for posty to come then its done Minus registering it :( Decided just to finish it instead off just making it road legal only thing im leaving at the minute is the seat


Have taken recent pics but not uploading pics until its done as it looks alot different from the last set of pics

Rather excited, if im off tomorrow i will check all the other nuts.

Its 99% complete. all thats left is the mot and to register it. Had a go in the garden feels beautiful so much better them my borrowed black one and my brakes shoes are fantastic too, front is really sharp as i asked for softer linings .


Oh and seat needs a newcover.


Also it will always be 99% complete as all bikes are in my world. :D Pics tomorrow if it is still light when i finish work tomorrow. The black one is going to become mine and will also be rebuilt so keep yours eyes open. (plus with my apprenticeship pay it shouldn't take a year to do)
