Underdog1:
Got my other fork lower back that got recoated so managed to bolt the front end up today. I’ve been soaking all my rubber bits in wintersgreen, has worked perfectly in the carb boots but the gators which were so hard I couldn’t get them on have now gone a bit too soft. Anyone know of any methods to shrink rubber? It’s saggy where it seals round the top.



Other than that I’m happy with how the front end is looking

Underdog1:
Been working on the electrics today, think I’ve got everything sorted bar the switchgear stuff. Wheels are currently getting trued and feel like I need to be sat on the bike to drill the holes for the cables (I’m going to wire the controls inside the bars).

Think I’ve got the basic routing sorted


Here’s the battery box with the blade fuse box I knocked up


I’ve done the starter safety bypass on the loom with a jumper cable, but I’ll probably remove the block connector and come up with a neater solution when it’s tested

Can someone confirm the correct routing for the cables from the alternator? Seem to remember this is how it was when I stripped it down but it’s going to be dangerously close to the chain. Perhaps that wire retainer tab is on the wrong crank case bolt?

Underdog1:
Carbs rebuilt and back on. Revived the carb boots so they are now nice and soft so easy to get on and off (which I think I’m going to be doing a lot of to get them dialled in!).

Just need the wheels back now so I can drill the bars for the front end electrics and then brakes and drive train. Few other bits but I don’t think it will be too much longer now

Underdog1:
Called the bloke who is trying my wheels and fitting tyres, still hasn’t done it and he thinks he won’t have it done until next weekend. So that will be almost 3 weeks..

K2-K6:
It's coming along,  nice when you get it on to it's wheels as it feels more like a bike then.

Two posts back,  did you resolve the cable routing near the sprocket? They should all go along that top edge up away from the sprocket,  there's a small capture ledge inside the sprocket cover which would ordinarily keep them out of the way.  The cables all come out of a gap at the top right hand corner in that photo.  You'll see if you look at the cover casting.
