Paul - really don’t want to ‘piss on your fire’ as you’re doing a super job, but it looks like you’re using the reproduction/non-genuine intake rubbers / clamps from DSS.

Just keep a close eye on them as I have two previous attempts using them, both resulting in chasing air leaks due to poor sealing/manufacturing tolerances. This was after 6 months of light use. Same with the repro fork gaiters, which develop hairline cracks/degraded after 6 months.

I’m not knocking DSS - they do a good job at helping us restore these bikes/keep them on the road, but worth noting where to tread carefully..

Take the above as you will - just wanted to share my thoughts..

James,
              Not an issue all info greatly received.
They are not repro ones and they wasn't from silvers either James.
I got the originals from a company in Germany you can see the bags for the clamps and dust rubbers in one of the pictures.
I will keep an eye on them all the same as I did have an issue with some for the 400/4 from the said company;) ;)

I used genuine honda inlet rubbers on my rebuild and i suffered from airleaks. Had to modify the clamps to ensure they put sufficient compression on the rubbers...clamps were gen honda too.. Not an uncommon problem either. Nice looking build by the way  8) good work!

Made a start on refurbishing the switches, if they come out as good as the Z650 ones I will be happy as they were mint 8)
Quite enjoy doing these. :o
