1977 400F2 first restore project
Sesman:
Very smart indeed. Great result.

Routing cables etc around the front end, quite a jigsaw but it feels like progress. Routing diagram from this site is so useful, as are photos from disassembly and little black book full of notes particularly on wiring connections. I've also grown a beard which is coming in handy for beard scratching contemplation.
Nurse Julie:
You must be very close to the finish line Steve.

Still a fair number of bits to do but hopefully will be somewhere near complete by April, at least I feel close enough to set a target.

Inching towards being in a position to be back on the road. Current plan is to more or less complete but leave some jobs for later whilst I see what sort of bike is emerging from this restoration. For example I cant lay my hands on a silencer at the moment and whilst mine looks OK the baffles are only hanging on by a thread. I have all the electrics working but haven't tested the coils, starter or oil pressure as yet, obviously the latter will require an engine start! Working on the carbs at the moment without a complete strip down, mainly because the bike was running when I first recommissioned it and I'm too chicken to take them completely to bits before at least having a go at seeing how things go as they are. I have cleaned all the jets and everything accessible from removing the float bowls, set float heights and bench sync etc.
