So, last full on day with the bike, only little things to do now, so all is looking good!

Only the rear lights, headlight and seat to go back on. Need to get some replacement bits like the regulator and a flasher unit and it should be there. I think the cdi unit for the ignition is ok but that might be difficult to replace.

So the bits left to put on:



Only these few bolts etc that have multiplied and have no place!



So here it is in its new glory:





So, as i said, just a few little bits to go now to get it road worthy, then just polishing and the small matter of a cbt and proper test.

Cheers

Right, bit of a revival.

Have had a manic few months. The mini crash has resulted in a change of job, so getting to grips with that first and foremost. I have had little goes at the bike and concluded that there is defs no compression. I am also struggling to get the engine apart to fix it.

I have managed to obtain a new engine with decent compression and no leaks as far as i know. So in the next month or so i will be trying to fix it all. I think once the engine in it should just be connecting pipes and wires to make it all work.

Then will come the tricky part of a dating certificate and getting it registered.

In better news, i did my cbt last sunday, so went from never ridden anything on two wheels with a motor i am now competant. So stay tuned for more updates and hopefully a video of a living engine... About time!
