I prescribe a large glass of red wine.

I know, it’s only Wednesday…

Cheers guys - smashing a pint of IPA and having a play with the design of the siren bracket in CAD to see if I can use a 3D printed part and still tighten the rear upper engine bolt without crushing the 3D printed plastic material (PLA).

Current thinking is to recess an M10 washer within a recessed pocket and use an M10x25 washer under the nut to transmit the load. I’m sure there’s a better way but the beer is flowing ha ha..

philward:
Great job James!

Evening chaps.

Finishing touches applied to the bike this evening, after receiving the tank and side covers back from my painters.

In the past couple of weeks I’ve swapped out the patrol light lens’ for the earlier ‘clear’ style - personally I prefer the look of these.

Very pleased with how she’s come together over the past 14 weeks. It’s been a long haul since buying her back in 2018, but I guess good things come to those who wait.

Family ‘staycation’ means she’s going to stay put for a couple of weeks before I can do some shakedown tests. But it’s been worth all the hours and effort that’s gone into saving her.

Thanks for the comments and feedback along the way, it’s been greatly appreciated.
