BTW my pic was from the mega money push-mile bike
.was it £16k ? It went for at auction at Silverstone Auctions. Seems the routing was all wrong.Always had my doubts about that bikes authenticity. Wonder who bought it?

Thanks all for the kind comments. I had a good day in the man cave yesterday, still slow progress with lots of fettling and tweaking but getting there and enjoyed it again.

Roo, the exhaust headers are the originals so double skinned. The chrome was good once the rats urine and poo had been removed (I actually thought it was rust in some places!). It still took a large tub of elbow grease to clean them up but worth it in the end.

Ash, I have attached the wiring route diagrams, these should help you with the cable routing at the headstock (control cable routes as well). I can confirm the silencer is a Burito item and funnily enough it is cheaper to buy them from The Classic Bike Shop than directly from Joe!

Magpie, seriously get yourself a bike lift, it’s a no brainer. It will save your back and your knees. There were two used ones for sale a few months ago in Classic Bike Guide.

Off to the Bike Shed Show later today, I forked out for a press/VIP ticket as it has become so popular now it is crowded at weekends. Some seriously fantastic one-off builds. I need to apply some beard oil and get a flat cap before I go. I’ll take my own jam jar for my beer  :).

[/quote] Ash, you'd have got the Glensanda boat from Port Appin wouldn't you? They're lovely all weather fast boats...Foster Yeoman have sold the quarry now but it's still working and I used to enjoy fish and chips at McTavish's too but the place is now a shop...I can see Glensanda from my house and now and then can hear the dull thud of blasting 😄👍

From memory (a long time ago now  ;D) Foster Yeoman had their own boat and it went from Ledaig near Benderloch to Glensanda. I seem to remember that the stone  produced at that time mostly went by boat to be Tilbury. It was a bit of an unusual job because our arch rivals Goodyear had sold them a conveyor belt splice failure monitoring system ..that didn't work  :-[  By some strange 'old pals' act between the top brass where I worked and Goodyear in Akron, Ohio, yours truly was sent there to re-design the electronics to get it to work properly. A long drive from East Yorkshire though in a 1.8 Escort Diesel !

Great news Ted, I'm not far off getting mine on the road now, just some small tweaks and cosmetics.

I used to stay at a Hotel in Benderloch and also one at the Falls or Lora in the early 1990's, when I was doing work on an electronic monitoring system at Foster Yeoman Quarry at Glensanda, which wasn't accessible by road, only by ferry. Almost everything on site was from RS Components as I remember. A beautiful part of the world and I also used to enjoy eating haggis at McTavish's Kitchen in Oban. :D

Always remember going through a place called ArdLui   ...had visions of a tough Italian/Scottish bruiser.  ;D
