Mick I thunk you've fitted the coils backwards, the HT leads come out of the back so they are protected from rain etc and they approach the plugs from the rear not the front if you get that.
I want that exhaust system

Bike is almost ready for the road, just a couple of small jobs to do and waiting on the DVLA to sort out my historic status. To be fair the pics do flatter it slightly, some of the original chrome is not great and the paint is a rattle can job by me with decals from Piki. I decided to go with decals as per the 400/4 as the previous owner had filled the original badge holes so was easier this way. The tank looks much better than it did originally with its "custom" paint job! (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)
A very nice result mickwinf. I like those old photos davefirestorm, looks like it's on "lustre-lux" photo paper, very nostalgic and does it have rounded corners too?
