The seat looks great. I also like the bracket on the back of the hoop, is that for a tail light and number plate and will there be enough clearance between the bottom of the number plate and the wheel?. I'm asking because I'm trying to work out how to attach the light / number plate to the hoop on my 550 project.

Hi Julie. Thanks for the kind words. Well spotted, that's exactly what's it's for. I've had to bend the number plate bracket slightly upwards to get clearance but haven't tried it since I got the wheels on. I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can put it on loosely and post a pick or two.
The bracket came about from that whole episode where I had to scrap all my other ideas due to tyre clearance. It's funny how these things sometimes turn out for the better.

Thanks dude. I made the base then had it covered professionally by a chap in Buckinghamshire, AJ trimmings. He's done it in leather for me. The flutes are at 1" 1/2 spacing all finished in black stitching.

What type of foam did you use for the seat base mate? Need to make one up at some point and yours seems very good for a semi home job

Underdog1 the base is 3mm aluminium base plate then 2x1" upholstery foam which me and the upholstery guy fitted and shaped while I was there with the tank on the frame so we could see all the lines then when we were happy I left him to cover it.
It's the really dense foam that's made up off the off cuts then pressed an glued. Sorry don't know what it's called.

Thanks for pic Steve. Yes, the plate and light fit on the hoop nicely. Difficult to tell properly from the photo but is the angle of the plate legal?. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mind breaking the law but would be interesting to know if it would pass MOT rules.

Mine passed like this...


But my bike is also tiny!

Nice bike Alex. Carpet in the garage. How posh. I've just got concrete and cardboard. ( that's not an invitation for the "you were lucky" monty python sketch to start)
I can always bend it down a bit if needed. (Not an innuendo)

Thanks
If only the garage door held any bloody heat in it would be alright in there!
The bike tucks away on the left and my treadmill and turbo trainer fit behind, it's the home gym too!

To all those who've done a big 750 before what's the easiest order to go about the rebuilding from where I am now?
Here's the last picture.
Thanks.

I would go carbs as there easy to get too at the moment then wiringloom and coils next

Cheers green1 it's what I was thinking but I've made that many mistakes so far that I thought I'd ask first.

Just popped the carbs in, and I do mean popped. Took me about 20 minutes in the end soaked the rubbers in boiling water and left for about 10 minutes. Thought I'd got them in a couple of times till I looked with the torch, then pop in they went, you do know when they're seated!
