          I moved house at the end of last month, plenty more garage / workshop space.
          Came from a place with a single garage that I parked a vehicle at night so working on a long term project was a real ball ache.

          I have said several times that I am going to do something with this bike, so now is the time!!

            Drained the oil yesterday, almost 5l came out excluding what was in the oil filter housing and the stator cover!

            Also pulled the complete wiring harness out. Just too many patches, half fixes and wires twisted together with electrical tape to fix on the bike.
            Will be going through it wire by wire and sorting the faults out.'

            Where can I get a blade fuse holder to replace the stock fuse holder?

              Since you mentioned bike will be track only, Pingle makes a nice petcock, on/off reserve. Also if your tank is 1980 you have a 50mm mounting point. This is a decent petcock adapter off ebay.

                Thanks jbird. Not sure if it is an '80 or '81. Please take a look at the pics in the beginning of the thread and see if you can identify it.
                I have looked at it and decided that an adapter plate can be made to fit a normal on/off tap more readily available here.
                Just have to make sure the flow rate is ok.

                As for track only, I am not sure about that anymore, might still run easily removable lights for the road but will not be any where near stock.

                  With any of the petcocks that are not vacume operated you will have plenty of fuel since they gravity feed. Lots o' gas
