I installed mine the same orientation as Julie has done. on the first page.

Good, that's 2 of us that have got it right then ;D ;D ;D
Anyway, front end now all back in the bike after fitting the new seals. Greased up the head bearings etc and Trigger drilled out the old steering lock, which had never located properly anyway and he fitted a new one. The front disk has been skimmed, the pads were new this year anyway so the front end is all done, she will be good for the foreeable. Another job out of the way.
At least now the bike is rolling again, I can get her into the workshop sometime over the next week or two and fit the bottom end of the engine back in the frame.

Thanks very much to the forum member that gave me the seals FOC.....you know who you are.

Yes, I am learning from him but I try to stay well out of his way Paul :'( :'( :'(. To be honest, he can't stand me working in the same room as him when he's working. But, if he does need my help for something, either I'm standing in the wrong place, even though that's where he told me to stand, I do the wrong thing, even though that is what he has told me to do and as for handing him the correct tool, forget it. If he asks for a 10mm spanner, that is what I will give him but no, he didn't mean that 10mm spanner, he meant a different 10mm spanner. But we survive without killing each other somehow. (only just though ;D ;D ;D)
paul G:
;D ;D just pass him ALL the 10mm spanners

i knew something didn't look right but thats why we are a community!
-bit like the time when I was bolting a 400/4 engine back in the frame and I put one of the LONGER bolts into the front LHS lower engine mounts- and I like things tight...so I tightened it and it went right through the crankcase and destroyed the engine....but, as Ive said on here before- parts were a plenty back in the 80's and i just brought another runner from a breakers for £50...
