it can be a bit fiddly to get that bottom part of the tensioner into its groove, i feel it through the sump opening with one hand and push down with the other hand, then confirm using a torch to look from underneath.

Thanks both, yeah kicking myself but at least I noticed it now and I'm glad the gaskets will be ok. I have come across several posts where people have started the bike up with it like that.
Warning bells were ringing when I let the nut off to self adjust and it didn't move.

The carbs are off for vapour blasting at the moment. Finished off the wiring, put the valve cover on, fitted new clutch disks, made up a clutch cable.. it'll be running soon fingers crossed!
Oh and the mod I did with the starter works fine
Nurse Julie:
Looks stunning Adam.
Laverda Dave:
Looking good. Nice lines although my back and wrists are already screaming in pain looking at the riding position :).
Keep the pictures coming👍.
