I know, that's how I learnt so many ways of sorting them, plus an apprenticeship as an auto electrician at Lucas many years ago, I know you find electrics a pain, but it's really just a case of logic and physics! ;D

MrDavo:
Hopefully we can close this thread soon if there are no more dramas to come - SHE RUNS!
I finished after dark yesterday, but here she is in one piece again, ticking over outside the garage, HM300s telling the neighbours that she is back.
Hard to start until I realised that the throttle stop screw was not touching the stop. The throttle cable adjustment is totally up the pictures, there is a spring in the quadrant,and it seems to take a quarter turn to take up the slack in it, despite adjusting for the right amount of free play. I will have to investigate. I think the cables are the wrong way round as well, as there is an adjuster on the 'close' cable, not the 'open' one, though that's how it was before.
I adjusted the clutch as per the owner's handbook and its not at all right, last time I was in this position I found a good article on the net telling me how to do it properly which worked a treat.
No leaks, no sign of the oil light once running, fresh oil at the cambox, no untoward noises I can hear. She went up though the gears on the mainstand ok.
Once I get everything set up right there will be the nervous ride out to the MOT station, last time is when the oil light dramas started.
Finally back in the garage, locked up to the Sportster. The tyre protecting the XL1200 and the 911 door from each other is an old Dunlop Racing triangular, with an alarming profie.
As the Harley was in 1000 pieces up to June, and the CB750 came apart shortly after I got her running again, it is the first time in a long while I have had 2 complete bikes, rather than one and a pile of parts. Top tip, always undo the cable lock and unplug the battery tender before setting off on a ride. ;)

Trigger:
