Hi Chippy, nicely done. Question for you. What headlamp unit are you using? Changes from a black shell to a chrome one after the photo captioned 'finished.
No issues with that at all - just wondered what it came from for future reference.
Have a good Christmas,

George, it is a diferent headlamp, due to the reflector on the original being in poor condition. I got it from NLM.

Had a good result today,always had difficulty engaging neutral when riding her, got some new steel clutch plates from NLM and fitted them went for a ride round the estate and it seems to have cured the problem, a euraka moment if ever there was one. Another long time problem had been the rear indicators , one thick and one thin, found a couple on Ebay and also needed the small chrome bracket to mount it to, got one fron NLM, never thought Id get one. So all in all a good day!!!
