I fitted both stanchions easterday, filled with oil. Height and damping seems fine, but the springs rattle as they compres, looking at fitting some sleeves if it annoys me on the road.
And yes Andy, I think your nuts to push a bike 2 miles, but then where I live 2 miles equals 4 hills...

She runs! Sounds good too, although the carbs are peeing fuel like its going out of fashion.
I've tweaked the bars, fitted the front wheel, bled the brakes and back, now to do some wiring. I think all the switches are now working, question mark over the hazzards. Since the rear lamps are led, and the front are bulbs, i've bought a pair of resistors for the rears.
Tonight I'll have to remove the carbs and track down the source of the flooding. Oh and the exhaust and the lambda are fouling the oil cooler feed.

Here's a shot of the bars, they might need to be pulled up just a bit more. Theyre certainly much better than they were:  Kawasaki 750 hard tail (was rear end ratios) |

I started off trying to keep as much original as I could, the problem with this though is that somewhere stainless meets paint. Long term I need something better, I'm just not sure what yet. And the number plate holder is too big - kind of in your face? Perhaps a solid rear bumper with the plate just behind the seat would have been neater..

Nice progress. Tend to agree about the number plate mount. Very neat but perhaps looks a little heavy. Might look lighter if the surround was relieved towards the bottom so that it looked more like a headlamp peak.  |

Agree Olds, in fact I did just that, but perhaps not enough. I'll have a lng hard look once its outside, when I can walk all around it.

I've pulled!  Kawasaki 750 hard tail (was rear end ratios) Don't know if applying my propane torch and long pipe to this will sort it, any thoughts? |

Well I sorted the plate mount. I cut 25mm out of the bottom, rewelded the surround back in. Kiss goodby to 2 nights, but it has made a big difference I think.
Pics later. I still need to think about sorting the pulled pipe where they're welded.
