    Body work with a tie-down? That's a new one for me.

      Seemed to be the logical way to achieve the result. And yes that's a 650. I've reposted the resto of the Six-Fiddy from another forum as a GSResources restoration thread.

        I think I'm brake rotor obsessed... That cat in the background has two right hand rotors on the front wheel, I believe...

          That'd be correct, it's how that arrived too. I have a couple of sets of front rotors. Until I do something about it, you'll just have to look away.

            I recently bought a pair of nearly-new front discs. The fact that they're both LH means nothing to me. I really couldn't care less.
            They were being sold cheap as an unmatched pair for less than half the price a used matched pair would be, even well used.

                  Can't see 'em when your riding. I'd actually forgotten that the 650 had mismatched front discs.

                    Exactly, and nobody's going to get a chance to see 'em as I whip past them too fast.

                      I stand corrected. Sorry.

                          Fairing sub-frame reassembled. Old headlight in as a place holder. A little tweaking required to align everything.

                            Next little job was straightening a buckled front guard





                            Not perfect, but ok by me.

                              Caliper piston kit and headlight arrived (finally). Fitted



                              The headlight doesn't have a fitting for the park light, but the LED indicators that I have for this bike have running lights, so I'll wire these to the park light out put.



                              The plan going forward is assemble the rear mudguard/tail light assembly (which I've painted). And refit the wiring loom. Unfortunately the coils look a bit poo, with some unsightly cracks.

                                If you're not a slave to originality, fit a pair of MP08 coils from a Honda CBr1000, Glodwing, etc. Dirt cheap, common as muck and dead reliable.
                                They also have a dead handy feature of having easily replaceable leads.
