[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 207680, member: 4617"] Will be putting the heads on this week to button the inside up. The guys at the machine shop did a good job. There is one machinist who is 61 and loves working on bike parts. Not a lot of younger people jumping onto the machinist bandwagon. The wiring is coming along nicely, the TESA cloth tape is helping to make a nice wiring loom. With the front fairing off routing of the wiring that I have installed is much easier. I am also taking apart some of the OEM wiring and wrapping with the TESA tape. Have some dash lights out. Any thoughts on replacement? Once I get this work done, the bike should be a treat to use. The last issue I will address is the "clunk" when starting off in first. Will be checking the backlash and such in the new year. Have my Dad's dial indicator to do this check. My friend of many years thinks that once I'm done with this work, the bike will be good for many years and kilometres. I agree and it will be much easier to work on than the 1500/1800 variants. Life is good, roads are bare and riding the bike late morning early afternoon is a treat. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
