Yes, that's the way to do it, so easy, I did mine the same way with the help of my gransdson and no scratches either.

I'm reluctant to get help from 'her in doors' - they seem to be wired differently!  Wouldn't swap her for one who was wired the same though - might be a fella!  We were carrying an 8x4 sheet of ply t'other day and it sometimes gets breezy here in Orkney, so I suggested turning it flat - why do they always twist the opposite way???  Perhaps Julie can explain?   :) :)

Us women would be turning the sheet of 8x4 the correct way, it's usually the man on the other end that is turning it the wrong way 😂😂😂😂😂

Because Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Which makes sense as Venus is a gas giant and women are full of hot air.

Don’t really know what to say after previous comments.😂😂😂 I did get a help to lift the bike onto the bike lift and yes Ian she did go the right way!😂
Temporary fit of new tapered bearings yesterday after concern after reading different reports about these taking up a bit more of the steering stem and leaving very little threads for top nut. These were just right leaving as many threads as was in the nut. Must remove again fit new steering lock and grease up. First experience with powder coating too, my that stuff don’t half take a bit of shifting if you get it where you don’t want it.

Waiting on new rubbers for the headlamp ears before final fit of forks then front wheel. Swingarm, centre stand, oil tank and coils fitted today, in between searching for lost parts, some of which were never there in the first place.

Managed to squeeze in a bit of time on the 750 this last couple of days. Filled with oil and turned her over for first time today, seems to be oil pressure, activates the oil pressure switch at least. Itching to get her running but will carry out some wiring connections at headlight and fit exhausts before that happens.

That's the exciting time when you get the first blat of life and she rolls over. It's realy tempting to have a late night and get evetrything hooked up but in my experience it's really counter productive. Super chuffed for you Jonny, keep us posted on bits and bobs, she's a beauty :) ;)

Major leap forward today, decided to give her some fuel, she fired up first second of pushing button. Delighted! Oil pressure light went out almost straight off, so kept her running for few minutes. No sign of any problems ran good and idled. Roll on spring time so I can get her out for a run. Bit of fettling yet including vacuum sync on carbs, but limiting running time in garage so I can bed it in properly out on some descent hills. Another one saved!
