Fitted new steering stem lock and helmet lock, went through the loom and cleaned all connections, fitted to frame and connected everything up, just need to secure and tidy route, rear light fitted as well. Air BOX and battery tray tomorrow and if I have enough time will start to strip carb.

!
Care stripped ready for ultrasonic clean and refurb (tomorrow) airbox refitted, brake caliper and master cylinder kits ordered, new front disc (Galfer wavy) ordered, rec counter gasket and washers ordered (missing ), only chain and sprockets left to buy I hope! -
I always strip with care! Don't want to damage the twins Finished ultrasonic clean and rebuild of the carb with new jets, emulsion tube, air screw (old one seized and spring stuck) drain screw (old one bodged). Any advice on jetting changes (or not?) to suit Romeu exhaust, no other tuning changes made, did fit forged piston though.
On to brake rebuilding next.!

@declan bummer! Exhausted myself turning the radiators on in my garage, phew!!!
On another note, ordered throttle cable from Yambits and fitted, doesn't fit at all well, difficult to get the slack out of the cable and definitely not right at oil pump. Shaft of cable that sits in housing far too long, have to fit a spacer on cable end to keep in correct position to line up clip on inside and cable in nearly the right position. Have ordered same as my 88 bike now, are there many differences in cables over the years? Mikuni carb and correct age cable ordered, just doesnt fit? -
Am starting to agree with you, checked cable that bike came with and that was the same. Explains why premix in tank, oil pump would not work with that cable as too much slack if located correctly in to oil pump housing cable inlet, ah well, progress I suppose. Time wasted though , annoying, brakes tomorrow.
