Ops! OK I have found a small set back. While I was doing the headlight, I could not undo the fork bottoms? When I have looked the nuts just spinning? I have got the nuts off the studs now by splitting them! But as you can see on the photo, The threads are gone!
So I need to get some new studs in, What is the best way to get the old ones out of the legs?
and all the body work, just waiting to go back on once ive finished messing around with the bike finishing bits off?
I have a fully working electrical system now,including a starter button. Just need a good battery now,ive been working with a duff one just to get the electrics in order.
I had to go and check then!…No its just camera angle! 👿
Well Ive moved the horn, I have actually looked through my parts and found the original horn and bracket, after Michael told me what it looked like and where it was fitted. Ive fitted the horn I had on in its proper place on the frame now,But there is a snapped stud in one of the holes,so I can’t refit the original horn yet!
The indicators on the front of the bike were the US twin filament bulb type! I wasn’t happy with them,they seamed dimmer? So I have swapped the bulb holders out for standard UK spec ones, and that seams to have made them much better!
Ive also fitted the side panel badges to the panels now,and Ive lacquered in my sticker that I got for inside the rear tail piece. 😉
I know these aren’t the correct badges? But I have a matching pair, and they look good with the tank & engine cases having all capitals.
They have cleaned up quite well to. :pint:
Heres one for KK!
Ok Ok! I admit it! “YOU WERE RIGHT!”
The correct headlight holders look much better. 😀
Yes Michael you are right, I ended up removing the mudguard! So while it was off, I refitted it with stainless steel bolts with a smear of Molly Grease to help keep them from seizing up.
While I was at it I re routed the brake lines Added the Left hand lower cable guide, and bled the front brake through with new fluid. 😉
Well No Sunday rest for me. Its about time I Had a look at fitting the proper head light stays?
I’m going to need these for the indicators to mount onto as well?Managed to pick up some Z650 bottoms that will fit So hopefully the job should be a good one.
Jacked the front end up to drop the wheel out and then I’m going to have to lower the fork legs to slide the light stays over the stanchions.
Nice timing Michael, This is my next job on the project i’m doing.
Ive picked up some not to bad condition headlamp brackets, Going to see if I can get them on,& still get the headlight between them? It looks like a tight fit? 😕
