Temp pipes for head cooler, so i can wind it over..

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Now electricity, i hate bodged looms and im no where clever enough to make one, so complete Mk2 bandit loom, and all ancillaries, link out the clutch switch, temporary battery and all the lights come on and solenoid clicks, hooray

Filled the sump and pushed the tit, we have oil pressure.

 

Now i need to find somewhere for all the wires!!  a big headlight i reckon??

Also need some coils and another ignition switch,, so do i nick bits from the teapot or flog it whole???

Great work there mate. I was really tempted to buy it myself as it’s a lovely looking bike.

Yes it is a great starting point, just need a pile of cash to sort it out and make it shiny, might have to flog the teapot to pay for it though

And would seem the sensible way bearing in mind the limited space and the daft price of 180 deg. fittings LOL!

Im using what I have in the box of bits so not costing anything 

the left side will be going straight up to the y piece of top of rocker box so I’ll need one 180 one one end no matter which way up the cooler is 

It all depends on mudguard clearance

90's are always an option - if you have them of course? LOL!
