Carbs rebuilt. They're now set up the way the guy who sold the cast aluminium inlet manifolds set up his. So should hopefully be somewhere close.
I love the look of these Amals on the XS.

Dragged out into the sunshine this afternoon to fit the rear wheel. With Loony's newly machined stainless spindle collars & chain tensioning bolts, I could set the wheel up square & true in the frame. So now I can finish mounting the rear mudguard.

Nipped over to Phil the upholsterer a couple of days ago. He very kindly shortened & stitched a loop in the end of an old camera bag strap I found -while I waited. For free. It's now the battery retaining strap.

I've been messing with this while waiting for parts for my truck project. Now I've got them, (thanks again Doc), I need to put the bike aside -there's a time limit on the truck build so it has to take priority. I'm sure I'l still tinker with this, but the truck comes first.
So this afternoon I de-lugged the bottom yoke, (removed several unwanted mounting lugs), then Chris & I put the front end back in. Just means we can move it around the workshop easier. I'm pleased with it so far. The bracing tube above the engine's slightly out of line with the top of the motor. Think I'll make a tapered fillet of tube to weld under it to fix that.

Tank on. Loony tries it for size. No seat here, so the riding position will be a little higher.

Looking better and better (apart from looney  ), nice and compact. Will be a cracker when finished. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.
