Lighting problems sorted!! Did some serious fault diagnosis today, and found a loose wire deep in the fusebox!! One of the only bits I never replaced!!!!! Roll Eyes

Fitted and adjusted the clutch and throttle cables as well, so I reckon all that's left is:

Seat painted and on, when it arrives from the good Mr Madron
Finish the paint on the tank
Fit front brake switch, and bleed brakes
Fit new battery
REMEMBER to put oil back in!! Cheesy

then...................MoT!! (After trying to start it, get annoyed, swear, kick it, take it apart to sort out why it won't start, put it back together etc etc)

That's great progress Clive. Finished with more than a month to go before the Basingstoke show.  Smiley
I seem to be going backwards with my projects, making no progress at all.
Maybe if I just left my trike by your garage door, the build fairies might finish it for me.  Tongue

Quick photo update on this. Seat from Mr Madron adjusted slightly, and just dry mounted before paint!

I now need to source a small rear light as the original is TOOOOO big!!
