Hi Dave, engine seemed to run well except a slight hesitation, only went about 3 miles though due to the fuel issue. charging battery then will look into the issues and try again.

So Lazarus has had his first outing for 30 years and threw in a couple of snags to sort out. He cut out a couple of times at traffic lights with what felt like fuel starvation and isn't charging either. All gears engage ok and clutch works but speedo not working at all.

lazarus is now legal, the post office sorted out the historic status no problem so all taxed and ready. I did take a mot exemption form and she did ask to see it but all sorted in 5 mins. if it stays dry over weekend i will have a little ride to see how it goes, wish me luck!

Just done the tank for Lazarus in black using spray cans, your method seems ok but I might put at least one layer of lacquer before stripes to even the transition between colours and stripe.

Keep finding small problems, the petrol tank cap clip, the bit that holds the cap shut, i broke it trying to fit the tiny spring. I cant work out how the spring is fitted, if anyone can show a close up pick it might help. Will be changing to historic and taxing it shortly, I already have the v5 in my name so should be able to do it at the post office, Nurse Julie can you confirm?

Exciting times, tank is painted and back on bike, one side panel has to be re done as I screwed it up. Some final things to do, chainguard is one of them as the original one is bent out of shape. I do have a 550 f chrome one but the chrome is beyond repair, but would paint up ok so might use that. Today I insured it so on the road soon!

Some more progress, tank has been lined with a two pack liner and painted with a layer of clear, then the stripes applied. Will lacquer over in next few days and finish the side panels. Almost there!

Have you noticed lots of ebay ads from Germany for used parts at really stupid high prices? So ridiculous that surely no-one would buy them? 550 alternator cover £334, sump £92.45 master cyl also £92.45! if it was ultra rare stuff fair enough but just average used parts.

for future reference I ordered a cheaper rim for my 550 and it was #rap, rusty when it arrived so went straight back. Also for us amateurs better ones are easier to true up. I vote DID.
