Oh man that VFR was brilliant value. If he was down the road I’d probably have it now. Anyway, a bit more.

Simple, but as close to original as I can get it with the decal set.

I’m going with decals (sorry Chris, rest easy fella). And had a reasonable go at some today.

I saw this yesterday and had a good old smile!!

A few more steps. Brakes bled, they’re really sharp with the full braided hose kit.

And wiring is almost put to bed now, just got to hook up the warning lamps and rear lights.

Then we’re into rechecking carb float adjustment, and first startup.

Rugby is on this ‘avo so that’ll have to wait till tomorrow.

Someone’s going to get a lovely bike...

Looking expensive and fantastic, well done.

Cheers Ian, it is basically a new bike so yes expensive. But it has kept me sane over lockdown, bless it.

Idiot lights all work, oddly enough. All replaced with coloured leds.

And the wired parallel resistor keeps the battery charging if the warning lamp fails. Whoever designed this system ...

 

[Nin]

This pleases me.

BTW the bolts and plate look like they aren’t level - they are, summat weird going on with the iPhone wide angle camera.

Lights all working, engine turns over crisply, there’s a nice big fat spark, brakes all bled.

Hmm, what’s next?
