A bit of an update,
Got my torque wrench from Hallfords for just over £50! I convinced store manager that I'm ehmmm mechanic and he gave me a trade discount card! very happy, bought few other bits and saved about 25% on most items!!!
Now, bad news, 3 screws which holds cover where snapped...
Not sure what to do, to do proper job I should take cylinder block a part and take broken bits out.
I'm kind of tempted to ignore it until end of summer, I'm a bit of scared what type of other issues I will find once the top end is off, plus never done it before.

THEY WON'T FIT you need the 500 or up to 76 k
Thank you, I will go the route of taping orings and puling tape out once the bowl is in place, did it once before. Tricky way of doing it but the bit I'm not looking forward to is... fitting carbs back, it is such a pain. Can't imagine having modern bike with all the bits of plastic in the way of carbs!

Oddjob, thanks so much for taking time with your explanation, I understand now what to do.
I'm about to run to garage to check size of the male blade on rectifier as I will need new females to replace riveted connections.
Finally feel that I'm making progress.
Thanks every one who contributed, there is no chance I would be able to fix my bike without this forum!

Lobo,
""Another thing is I have strange cable I suppose earth going from negative terminal all the way to ignition coil, it looks like a recent upgrade..."
.... & gotta say, this sounds a bit odd. Are you sure it actually connects to the coils.... or as Brian says, "there ought to be a cable in the loom going to the coil BRACKETS" (this wire will be likely Green, and earthing the coil units to the frame versus directly connecting to the coils wires."
You are right, this cable is just going to the frame and and as you can see on that picture, brown cable goes to the horn.
So, that earth cable doesn't do any thing more then earths horn, which is rather strange, but the horn is new, and it looks like a bodge of a previous owner.
I'm super excited as it all slowly starting to make sense, I'm feeling more confident then ever before that I can fix my electric issues!

Thanks lobo for explanation, much appreciated. I had a closer look at the connections and to my surprise they are riveted to rectifier?! I'm confident that there is just enough red/white cable to fix it but will have to loose black sleeve. I have ordered cables as you suggested, went for 170 might be over kill but it will definitely let juices flow easier then now  I have been looking for a while at the dremel you mentioned, I'm afraid for now elbow grease will have to do  I have another question, what are cable specification which is used in loom? I have seen a post while back which I cant find any longer, can some one point me in right direction? Many thanks

I hope he is getting something out of it a part or adrenaline rush.
Going over 100mph behind lorry was pretty hairy...
And I bet that water in the lake wasn't very hot.
Top bloke!

Thank you Lobo but will try to fix my loom rather then replace it, it might take me some time but hope I will be able to understand it better this way.
I had a quick look and there are few other issues...
My head lamp is H4 60/55W and since it is draining my battery I'm thinking to replace it with H4 45/45w it will still be 10W more then Honda intended but it should work right, is any one using 45/45?
Also, where should be negative cable from battery be fixed to? frame right, can any one of you nice people send me a picture of where it should be? I suspect on my bike it is not in right place as it should be fixed to the bear metal of the frame, not thru bushing of some sort.
Another thing is I have strange cable I suppose earth going form negative terminal all the way to ignition coil, it looks like a recent upgrade...
Again thank you very much for comments.

Love post man jokes!
I have 3 brothers and 1 sister and we all look quite a bit different, in Poland where I'm from, the jokes are about milk man but equally funny!
Thanks for this one!

DS doesn't have them, think it is easily available to buy from electric shops so they can't be bothered I pasted a link to website which have a cables which look's similar, thought some body might have bought replacement from them. Is this specification correct? "16mm2 cables with crimped on 8mm rings" I thought they where 6mm rings, since I'm not going to be in garage today thought I pick one of you guys "brains" As for cleaning connectors, it is easy enough with a "male parts" as they ehmm stucking out But how to get to the bits inside the white blocks?? think there must be a better way then a sand paper on a ice cream stick...
