      Pretty much finished up the fly screen tonight, but still yet to mount it and take it for a test ride.



      My tacho carked it today so I need to work that out before mounting the screen. Not sure what the problem is yet...

        Installed the motor, carbs, airbox, tires mounted balanced and installed. Wiring, gear shifter and that will about wrap my build up.

            Found weirdness with my tacho today... really need to get an Acewell on there and solve it once and for all.

            Mounted the fly screen after a spit and polish today and gave it a quick test run. Bit hard to tell if it does anything as I'm only able to get up to 70kmh legally near here, need a longer/faster test route...

              Welded on some new footret mounts on the Mk.II and lifted it down on the floor to get a feel for the riding position. Feels really nice.

                    Given how much most of the gs'ers on here hate seeing a bike cut to pieces, I can't say I didn't see that reply from a mile away.

                      L models were designed from the Factory to be cut up.
                      It is that awful choice of colors that reminds me of what it was like when I drank too much. YUK!

                      It is your bike and YOU will be seen on it and not me. Enjoy.

                        in my defense, the green looks nothing like that IRL.

                                Helped Mothra get his 450 finally running (course he did all the work before I got there ). Now he just needs to fix the R/R and he'll be golden.
