do you recommend the motogadget unit as a big upgrade to the original wiring or is it more for tidying up the triangle? i do plan on changing the clocks and handlebar switches etc..

yeah i think im going to down this route, seems like a good upgrade and although i didn't plan on doing it , after reading and seeing videos, i dont think i can not go for it, i may need some advice and instruction when its comes to installing!

as for the engine, i did the checks you guys advised and did not find any evidence of wear etc on the bottom end, fingers crossed im okay!

had some progress over the weekend and evenings, soda blaster the pistons and rebuild kit, honed the cylinder barrels and checked the bores and sprayed the barrels using  POR15 heat resistant paint, not sure how good it is but looks a lot better than i did! i took loads of pictures during each stage but dont want to bore you all so heres a few

Nurse Julie:
Looking good Aled. I hope you mean you painted the barrels with POR15 and not the bores!!! :o :o

Laverda Dave:
Its looking good Aled.  Rapid progress is being made, you'll have it on the road next weekend at the rate you are going :o
I like the idea of having the bike bench on castors, simple and effective in a small garage.
Keep the photos coming.
