A bit of an update..............

For the forth time, I've re-fabricated the headlight bracket, lifting the final position, and pulling it back towards the headstock. Not clear from the photo's, but the rear mudguard has had to be modified a bit, just to get it repositioned, and the airbox has been changed slightly. I cut up a fiberglass front mudguard (made to mount on the fork legs on a Sports Bike or Cafe Racer. I'm still not sure if I can run the bike without one, so it's a quick fix for an MOT and will be coming off. Handle bar controls are next. They're on, but I need a kill switch, a wiring sub harness, and, well loads more. The Gunnar Gasser I picked up is missing it's top. I've either lost it, although I don't remember taking it apart, or it came without one. A penny washer I had fits perfectly, and I've found somewhere that stocks genuine spares, so I'll get one ordered eventually.
A sort break from building now. Work, followed by a trip to Santa Pod next weekend, followed by work, and more work.
