Oh, I misunderstood the speedo cable thing Roo, I assumed it plugged into the end of the standard cable which concerned me as it'll be hugely long by then.  Which cable was this and was it from Digital speedos?
The tacho is from digital speedo’s and I think the cable connector is from Louis Moto,  I got it from there as DS’s didn’t have one in stock. If I get chance tmrw I’ll  dig the paperwork and get the deets for you

Yeah, the cable turns the original rotational, speedo drive into a pulse that the tacho can read. It has to be set up like everything which I haven’t got round to yet but the reviews are really good and it was perfect for what I was doing.

Crap photo but during jogging mudguards. That’s the electric pick up on the drive there. It had a fettle after this for better clearance but works a treat and keeps a look………kinda

That’s crap maye, hope she’s see’s some improvement soon mate.

The job list is endless and there’s always something else to sort! I’ve some spare black coated brake lines lurking in the draw. They’re the ones from the solid section off the calliper to the splitter, not sure of the configuration you’re using but I bought them after getting sums wrong and ended up being a bit short. I had some remade so these are surplus.

I went for the single tachometer, digital speedo combo from Daytona. Looks pretty classic, small and has all you need on yer know…….possibility for you?
I run a digital connector from the OE speedo drive the same route as the cable would go up to the clocks. Fairly inconspicuous……

Thanks chaps, it's surprising how much I've still got to do though.  I think all cables will need replacing or inventive routing, new multifunction gauge- possibly a Koso, replacement side covers, brake lines and a respray.  Oh and the leather seat project that I've got my mum involved in but sadly she is undergoing constant chemo so not much into the idea anymore.

Things I've learnt, I can't weld but I can melt two pieces of metal together and tidy it up with filler.  Fibreglassing is satisfying if a bit tricky at times.  Paint stripper is very flammable, don't set light to it while holding an item covered in it, you may just flap around like a loony trying to put it out and splash molten stripper on your otherwise immaculate Daytona 675.  This really did happen and I'm only just forgiving myself for it.

It was definitely painted on my tank Ash. I thought it was a decal until I tried to peel it off to send to Piki for a matching decal to be made and I found it was painted! The bike only had 9k on it when I bought it (£415 back in 2001) so unlikely it had been repainted at any time.
