Pete - I think we can all identify with where you are!
I'm building my 650 in the cellar so it is a bit warmer. Downside is the cellar is pretty small and once it's built I'll have to strip it down to get it outside!
I started fibreglassing a seat base the other week - until my wife and mother-in-law indicated (rather strongly!) that the fumes from my "project" were filtering throught the cellar floor and upsetting our new born! So there are perils in any workplace, no matter how warm it is.
When I'm feeling flat I do little bits and pieces, even as small as cleaning one or two nuts and bolts or degreasing a clutch lever and it's mount / pivots. I hate stripping and painting stuff but I stripped and painted my yokes last year. Now I really need to strip and paint the frame but it's a big job and needs warmer weather; Instead I built the bike up and looked at the contrast between shiny, painted yokes and grubby frame and realised how cool it would look when done...gave me a lift to see that the effort involved in stripping and painting the yokes was so worthwhile - and it would be worth doing the frame too. I haven't done it yet but I'm looking forward to it - and when I do it will be a little bit at a time to get the paint off. Kepp thinking "bite-sized chunks". It doesn't all need to be finished today.
Stick at it; look at other build threads; there's always loads of encouragement on here and usually someone who is goin through the same pain!

Cheers Seamus- I like that. I was wondering today if others such as the 750SC fitted. Will widen my search terms.

Cheers Yoshi. I'm still looking for one in the UK as I'm too tight to pay carriage from the US!
ETA to have the bike on the road is end of March so I've a little while yet.

Does anyone use goggles with an open face helmet? I have the following criteria: must be a single lens, not "Red Baron" style; Must be able to fit glasses underneath if required; not too pricey - c.

Given that it's an old bike and probably sub-33bhp already, you might ask them to guarantee it makes 33bhp with the restrictor kit!

I was reading an old Classic Bike the other night which stated that so long as you had the dyno chart proving your output was below the limit then you were OK.
They specifically mentioned the 400/4 as one of the bikes that would be appropriate to use on that type of licence.

I've never made the Knebworth classic bike show, although always meant to go. I usually go to the Classics on the Green at Harpenden - used to run a lovely orange Porsche 911 which fitted in very nicely there. Whereabouts are you?
