Latest Resto

[lawrie]

Latest total nut & bolt resto, I built the new stainless rims & spokes & fitted the tyres myself, blasted & painted in the back garden!!
Made the seat & covered it, completely made the loom & modified to modern solid-state reg/rect system, designed & 3D printed the silver carb-covers (unobtainable now) only thing I DID,NT do was the chroming & aqua-blasting!
The Thai replica silencers although fitted ok, hung down about 6", so I cut & re-welded them so the now hang 'UP' 6 inches!
Not correct for the purists, but stuff-em, its my bike.

Here's the amazing bit, I GUESSED the timing & ignition settings, then this afternoon, I put in some fuel, switched on, pressed the starter & it was running before I let go, nice & smooth & settled to a nice tickover,  Whos a jammy git then???
I think this will be the last one.
