Well Sunday AM had no spark, traced that down to a bad earth, then no fuel and a leaking petcock,, fixed the seal in the petcock and re set the new float levels per moos instructions,, voila,, fired 2nd kick then caught fire for a second as I didnt have the pipes connected, it was a bit loud, so much so two neighbours came running to see if I was okay hahaha, all they saw was me grinning ear to ear
ok today assembled the pipes, discovered I had the wrong foot pegs on it so found some that fitted for now to allow for shifting, also than now means the rear brake leaver is bent and so I will locate a replacement.
Tomorrow tackle the headlight and horn , simple enough then ENJOY,, as for now I am at a stage I am ready to relax with it, learn the power band and see if I want to race it next year or not?
Front fork mods are really good, that extra few mm of oil I allowed for is perfect, overall I am pretty pleased with the whole thing even if it did fight me all the way with every nut and bolt hahaha
Pics of it nearly finished...
It has now done its first 2 miles in over 22 years, it feels good, I am used to being on a race bike all the time, this feels like luxuary compared to my Graves R6's, I plan to enjoy my ownership and remember my first one back in 76
a big thank you to those that have given me advise over the questions I had and to those who sent me parts without even being paid first, I am happy to be a part of the forum and hope I can help out others as I learn more myself.
