Won't take long..engine swap,make up the exhaust, new chain,plug back the wiring together, fuel lines and new carb air filters,and go for it? Then road test..followed by strip down for paint ![Grin](http://mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I look and like what I'm seeing. ![Smiley](http://mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Quiet all round but a lack of comments might just be that there's nothing wrong with what you are doing.

The wiring loom is not to bad actually dad it’s just hard trying to hide and neaten everything up as it’s all big and bulky not sure if I’m going to do away with the standard clocks I think it should still run if the Rev counter and speedo aren’t connected it will look better without them but is definitely handy knowing how fast your going etc for now I shall connect everything back up and step back and look to see what it looks like but I do prefer a clean front end ? Anyone’s thoughts?

The standard gauges are pretty big aren't they. Even just off the shelf chrome mini clocks mounted in the same place would be less obtrusive. I like the overall chunkiness of it ![Smiley](http://mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I agree the standard gauges just don't go with the rugged look of the bike.

I would run the loom inside the frame if I could but the original loom is far too big and has lots of large connection blocks etc I can hid most of the loom underneath the tank and inside the electric box I will be making plus I’m trying to do it on a cheap budget otherwise I would have a custom loom made etc using what I’ve got already etc but definitely think the clocks will go. Will it pass mot etc and if I remove the clocks and gauges etc I assume it will still run?

No. While the speedometer is not checked for accuracy at the MOT, but one that is obviously inoperative or is missing, is a fail. Speedometer accuracy is however checked at MSVA.
