Is that what you want to do is it, use it as a daily work horse?
Mine never let me down. Great commuter.

When I first started rebuilding it wasn’t the idea was just gunna be a weekend toy have a good blast around every now and again but things change so until I get my company car it will be used
But with it nearly finished it’s not the best build and not the cleanest and already pricing everything up for a full nut and bolt rebuild and making everything original to keep its value but that’s a long way offAlready keeping my eyes open for something else for a project something I don’t need to use as really enjoyed doing this.

Cheers mate ordered some clear lines
Bike all ready now, but have noticed a leak from the carb guessing bowl gasket needs replacing
Auto lube needs bleeding also and she ready for her first start
First time out the garage in a few months quick wipe down and a polish

So will try gasket paper as silicone has stopped the leak but still seems like I’m not getting fuel to the spark ? Anything else I need to check ? All carb was cleaned out new filter in there etc getting abit stressed now

Does anyone know where the black wire (I’m guess an earth) on the coil is meant to go
Iv just fitted a new startermotor to the build makes it easier to start and found I have no coil
Noticed the black wire with hook was connected to the coil itself should this be earthed to frame or is this right ?

The starter motor has a red wire only which connects to the starter solenoid (this is the square thing with two fuses in it by the battery). There is a black wire with a hook which connects to the neutral switch which is located near to the starter motor at the bottom of the engine casing on the flywheel side. this in turn plugs into the part of the loom which goes into the stator/generator coil via a bullet connector. Hope this helps.

So last night after during the match I decided to take the bike for a ride out see how everything was , bike felt great really responsive but loud but exhaust needs sorting
Come out for work this morning bike fired up felt great work is only 5mile away iv got just round the corner and my red light came on and the bike was steaming pretty bad I coasted it to work and iv lost all my coolant I’m aware this could be down to the head gasket but I’m hoping it may be something else.
There was pressure in the radiator when I took the cap off and the expansion bottle cap has stayed on any one know what else to check before I order a head gasket ?
Thanks
