Very bad news. Things can only get better. Don't let it get you down too much.

They look pretty close to what I had in mind. Might need to modify the end fitting profile slightly.
Cheers. ☺

The standard 400/4 footpegs are a bit on the chunky size for my cafe style rebuild.
Can anybody recommend an alternative footpeg that will fit the original Honda
mountings? I'm looking for a modern style aluminium peg without going for rearsets. (Too old and creaky for that!)

I suppose it's a lesson to all of us. Never assume that the old parts were fitted correctly in the first place!
Even factory original parts can be fitted wrongly. 
Yep, bloody previous owners, they have a lot to answer for at times !!!
And I thought I was doing so well. Never mind. I wonder if that's why the forks got stuck down sometimes ?
It may be. The stantions are straight aren't they? Your rebuild is going really well. The fork seals are just a little hiccup. Everybody has them so no big deal. Looking forward to the rest of the bike rebuild.

The bike looks amazing. I would be really worried about my crown jewels though.

Trigger, what type of welder do you use for the aluminium welding? I'm thinking of upgrading my arc welder to a Tig machine to carry out similar repairs and fabrication.
Advice on a good unit to get would be much appreciated. ☺

The clutch cover repair is pretty ugly. If you grind it down smooth you might open up a hole or crack underneath and need another weld to repair. What's the inside of the cover like?
The picture of the other side of the cover is included.
Look just as bad but there looks to be plenty of metal on both side to get an improvement?
I noticed that later. That's the problem when you view it in a hurry! 😕 Good luck with the grinding and polishing. ☺

I'd never really thought that the way I ride would affect the fuel/air ratio. Very enlightening, thanks.

After 6 years of fixing manky old dishwashers I've finally handed in my notice. I'm starting with Streetwise in Cardiff tomorrow teaching people how to drive. My phone hasn't stopped ringing and I have 5 x 2-hour sessions booked already.
Just hope I don't F... up too badly.
Best wishes Mike and good luck with the Cardiff traffic. 😨
