On the bit of the spring that goes behind the frame, I’m ok to bend it back up and around the hook arent I?

Yep. Sure it’s the correct spring? I’ll have a totter around the garage tomorrow and see if I can find the original.

[Laverdaroo]

Came out of the right Honda bag so I have no reason to doubt it’s right, like.
It’s the open end on the right, doesn’t take much to slither off the hook so I’m ok to just tweak it up and make it more hook like, yer reckon?
Sorry crap photo, put me specs somewhere but can’t gfind em!

Try angling the bracket back so it lines up more with the brake arm.

You could always try and fit it behind the bracket and see if moving it more inboard helps.

[Laverdaroo]

I think that might be the way forward then it’s just up and down, instead of diagonally upwards against the bend in the spring.

This is mine try turning yours round abit

[3scs]

And this is the other end

[Trigger]

The brake shaft needs adjusting more or it is fitted with a K3 shaft 

[Laverdaroo]

The dots are lined up and it’s sitting thus so for fit it appears ok it’s just that angle of dangle, bear in mind ths is the wrong spring and one I made to make do until I found a replacement but this was fitted with the old spring first and the same outcome. I’ve a NOS one coming from Holland in the next week.
The nuts off at the min waiting fir some ring terminals to get here tomorrow so I can get the earth sorted and button it up. Rear tyres going on Monday hopefully so it might be easier to suss when all that’s in and lined up.

Looking at you pic the switch needs rotating clockwise, if the little bracket has a lock to stop it its probably from another model so needs modifying a tad

[Sesman]

Yes, the switch bracket needs rotating about 15deg clockwise and stop switch spring eye needs to be inserted Left to right as opposed to the Right to left?

[Sesman]

This is picture of the bike as it arrived. I was lucky in that mine was a very original unmolested. The pics a little grainy, but if you zoom in it will provide an indication of the switch position relative to .the clutch casing

[Sesman]

This one shows the original mounting arrangement. Again the photo quality is poor.
