I fancied a bit more bling so fitted a chrome carburetor. Changed the front sprocket to a 17 tooth as well. It will now do an indicated 120Km/h flat out . OK on the motorway cruising at 90-100Km/h now. The bigger sprocket was just what it needed. Not sure about all the yellow though. I will change the tubes and paint the choke lever black.

These were a bit of a nightmare to fit. They had the wrong thread when they arrived. I had to machine the old thread off and buy an M26x1.0mm die to cut the thread to right size.

I think it looks quite good. Nice photo of Ange too.

Did this one in a day 🙂

Massive session in our garage working on Anges bike today. We started with her stock standard bike at 12 noon and now almost everything is done apart from the dreaded electrics (which I’m glad to say are Anges department). 10 hours solid, no lunch or dinner just some beersies for me. Looking really good ? I’m shattered now.

I fitted the front mudguard yesterday and it looks pretty good ?

I got a new Inverter MIG welder for Christmas so today I completed the front mudguard. I’m a bit average at welding, but the angle grinder hides many sins. It definitely won’t come to bits though. Paint job is a bit average too, but I needed to get paint on it quickly before it started to rust. Might give it a repaint once the sun comes out.

Oops, yesterday’s headlight bracket fitting was upside down. Here is a photo of the correct orientation.
