Nice Job Rusty!

@GLJ I would like two if you can ship at reasonable cost to UK to the UK?

As JP says the motor is sensitive to balancing the carbs. A great and beautiful bike of which I am a fan. Owned one myself and toured Europe on it; super reliable machine. You've done a great job bringing this one back. Excuse the pun but it will be an 'eye opener' when you've fine tuned it.

Ok gggary, sound like a plan. Just looking for a lazy no work way to do it.

Went to fit the new DID530 heavy duty 104 link chain to 17/33 sprocket set..... Dang, it’s to short; Radian swing arm must be longer than standard. Looks to be 3 to 4 links short. Anyone know the right number of links? @teamWicked ? Or @halfmile

Good job well done Raymond. See, the reward is the ride for the hard work put in. Who wants a new bike version of an original now! Ads.

Hi Tristan, Welcome to this wonderful place of skill and knowledge (unless you are me who has little of either). All car & bike traders seem to be up front and honest; like your best mate would be! Take them all with a pinch of salt, as they just want a sale at the end of the day. Like you I...

Another beauty. I owned an identical version which took me on adventures around Europe. Even over many Alpine passes between France and Italy. Eventually chopped it in part-ex of £1000 against brand new Honda XR400 with HRC kit...

Another interesting auction bike...

Cracking piece of work. Love the frenched rear lights. A great build.

Try running it from a dummy tank first.

Raymond, it’s a question we all ask ourselves often. Me, I love the spannering (more than electrics for sure) as much as riding. A win in the spanner’s is rewarded by the eventual ride. Every time I complete a job, especially beyond my known skill set, is a small win to a bigger goal. It’s...

Nice catch TW. Looking forward to your vision for this one.

No... Just the bare nessecities.. according to Jungle Book.

Finished the wiring from the rotor / stator. All now weather proof and correctly routed; up to the electrics under the seat. Time for wine now.

Lovely Jubblee; and welcome from WALES the land of song and frightened sheep!

This came today: Much nicer than the plastic spastic thingy I have on the bike. Much cheaper than the Rizoma option (£60 UK). Solid billet construction and seems really good.

Cheers TW and JesseeS. Great help as always. Gone with @jpdevol advice and run the cables outside the frame tubes; ah..hem....... for reasons of safety. Nothing to see here..... Nothing at all. :whistle:

Threadin' cables through the Fu*kin' frame tubes for the past two days. How in heavens name did they do that in the first place!!!!!

Welcome to our world. Hope you find your mentor.
