Realised I've bought the wrong spec rear oval lens - so will need to source the correct UK spec lamp.
Rear indicators fitted, chain and sprockets installed, rear brake fully installed.
Moving ahead with the front end Thursday evening so more progress then.

Your need is greater than mine James ..pop yours in the post to me and I will send you a NOS UK style one. I will put yours on one of my CB250K0's .. It will give the purists something to discuss. ;)

Yea I am sure ... a friend had a really early UK CB250K0 he restored and it had that style of lens and also a chainguard that was slightly different to all of the others I have seen. Mine all had the lens you need but I will sneak the one you have in just to different. ;D

Ash you’re an absolute Gent.

Switched focus onto the carbs for a while as it’s a time consuming process.
Carb bodies stripped, cleaned and then plastic media polished by a local aerospace supplier. Not cheap at £80 for the set, but they do come up beautifully. That price includes the float bowls as well.
I prefer the process as the bodies retain a slightly nicer more natural finish compared to vapour or soda blasting.

Carbs looking great J :)
Here is the lamp lens ... pretty sure it's the correct one.

Small but a bit more progress...
Oil tank internally cleaned and externally painted. New oil lines (refurbished original fittings) ready to fit.
Front wheel finished and assembled ready to fit. Original disc in lovely condition.
NOS switchgear (correct UK spec RH switch)
Fork ears ready to fit with NOS hardware..
Just waiting for fork lowers to come back from the polishers for a second time (wasn’t happy with the finish first time round) and then they’ll be assembled with new seals and I can start fitting the front end.
