Few things. Decided to fit the brand new RS38’s. These ones were borrowed from my Spondon build. This motor is an unknown item. At least if i put new carbs on i can say they will be fine. Wiring loom is nearly there now. Just need to fit the connectors in the headlight, coils and under the seat for light and blinkers. Clutch slave cylinder came off my blue Bandit. After bleeding it, the piston came out too far. It fouled the chain  The push rod was too short so i bought a bit of 6mm silver steel and made a new rod. I bled the clutch and after getting it working lovely, i noticed the fluid level had gone down. The slave cylinder is corroded. No drama. I have 3 spare ones 

Tank is back now. Shitty paint has been sorted. See if i can get the loom finished by the weekend.

Top notch Gary, as always. Hope to see it at Donington.

It was going to be taken to the Manchester show next week but plans changed. 

[Dorkburger]

Tough finding words. The level of detail is incredibly beautiful. 

[Bondy]

Thank you all for the kind words. :-)

cant wait to get it off the bench and out in the sun.

Down to the last few jobs now. Wiring is done and everything works as it should. Bike has been started and engine sounds good. Just needs valve clearances sorting.

Thanks bud. You should have come and said hello. I still have a couple of little jobs to do. I wish i had more room at home to keep them mate. Lol. Trying to get the Mrs round to the idea of putting them in the conservatory, but i cant see it.
