Just a bit of a quick update.

Wheels now painted, lacquered, and tyred again.Speedo/Tacho assembly rebuilt. Brake parts now mostly painted and just waiting to replace the hoses. Forks virtually done apart from new caps needing anodising (Tried to do it myself but wasn`t happy with the results so I may just polish and fit and hope for the best) Wiring virtually done also....just the odd connector to be replaced also. Waiting for more plating to come back this week which will allow more bits to be reassembled. Trying to get this completed by the end of the month....ah well we can all dream
Post a few more pics when I can

Im not showing a photo of progress today as it looks as though I havent done much  . I now have  brakes (1 on each end of the bike), and I have the electrics virtually sorted. Previous owner wanted to use LED indicators but Im not that clever, so I put bulb types back on. Just waiting for one engine case to dry off completely before I replace that. This will lead to the starter motor (recently repainted too) and carbs being replaced so I may be able to fire it up before the weekend . Loads of little fiddly jobs to do as well as making new footrests and lots of adjustments to do. End of March is a bit more of a reality now. Will post more pics when it looks like I have done something.

As promised a few photos. Nearly done as can be seen in the pics. Will post a final photo or two when finally finished (are they ever?)

Aye Ian,

Nice job, as ever, I see the paint colour leans toward that malachite colour.

Enjoy putting some miles on the wee beastie.

My regards, Bill.

Another fantastic job, Ian. Nicely done! 

I look forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime soon, I hope.

Thanks to you both, this one was harder work than ever down to several reasons methinks....

Me getting older

No room in the garage

and no time to do it!

Hope to see you soon Trevor

Enclosed final photo for this thread from me. Photo taken after it has been awarded its MOT today in the gorgeous sunshine
Will tax it from April so hopefully see a few of you when I actually get to use it. Thanks for any help and encouragement.
