Well done, not all of them are as cooperative.

Bryanj:
Wiring is same unless its a VERY early 500 with round pin block connectors

Tomb:
Thanks for the encouragement chaps, and info Bryan. I’m guessing it’s a later 500 motor as the cases are the shape as the K3. From what I can see of the 500 wires which are badly discoloured it looks the same. I have the rec/reg from the donor frame/engine so can sort it.

Bryanj:
Early and late rectifiers look different but wiring is same and they work same, only difference is fuse/switch wiring if you use loom, switches and electric panel all from same bike you will have no problems

Tomb:
I’ll link the K3 engine wiring into the original wiring, as you say it looks the same. I’d already wired a none standard rectifier in years ago, but retained the original mech regulator.

The new engine is now bolted in the frame using lots of copperslip, this took a while as the crash bars weren’t too straight when taken off (small off in snow saved by the crash bars).

I have the exhaust to weld up and fit, carbs to fit. Loads of other jobs later on like recover the seat etc.

I know it’s not in the same class as the work you lads do, but I’m really enjoying doing it. I’ve done prize winning restorations in the past, but there’s something nice about not having to worry too much about chipping the paint or is this bolt shiny enough to use.
