Progress is being made.

Nice of you to take the bike out into the sunshine.

The engine is now fitted back into the frame after having some spacers re made by a friend that were missing. I have also spent some time removing the seat cover which is in remarkably usable condition to (a) undo an Italian made to fit another bike bodge on the saddle frame and (b) wire brushing the frame in preparation for re painting. I spent so much time on (a) that I’d had enough and didn’t get round to (b). I did however, trial fit the tank to the bike to see what the colour scheme that the previous owner spent his cash on doing. Whilst not factory spec I found it to be rather aesthetically pleasing. I say to hell with the rivet counters it’s going to stay that way. It is also not going to have correct Tresette handlebars as I can’t find a good useable set and a repro set will cost too much so the G3L ones are going to stay. Next on the hit list is a wiring loom and some rear footrests and finish the saddle.I than have to source a suitable set of clutch and handbrake levers. That is about it for now.
