Another sunny summer day spent in the garage..... getting a bit cheesed off spending all my spare time working on the bike, still its gotta be done.
Fitted the exhaust today, bit of a struggle but ok in the end. Still need to finish off a few bits, fit the chain, rear brake linkage, bleed the front brakes, fit the clocks, sort out the annoying leaky oil tube and one of the carb float bowls has a slight leak...... but she runs !! and sounds ok, no burning oil or nasty rattles (just normal sohc noises). Needs the carbs balancing but started up 2nd kick. Ended the day on a high.

Looking good, no scratch that looking great, I'd stop and admire it if I saw it parked up.
Cheers

Great work Rob, looking really good.
Rob62:
Thanks chaps, i’m quite happy... although it certainly is nowhere near one of your top restos’s James.. The handlebars, mirrors, mudguards, headlamp brackets, wheels, lights are all original chrome and pitted but in keeping with the age. The tank is scratched here and there but again in keeping. So its a mixture of original patina and diy restoration. Still cost a few bob though 😳
hairygit:
You may not think it's up to James' standard of restoration, but you have a good looking bike to enjoy the summer with. (That said, it's pi%*ing down here in Devon right now)
