Yes really pleased with it Dave. Was great first ride, good weather, road to myself but the brake problem cut it short. Bryan hit the nail on the head which enabled me to fix it. Can’t wait to take it out next week.

Apart from one or two niggles, mainly the carbs, the bike’s running fine and now just needs some fine tuning. The front brake, disappointing at first, is getting better with use and has more bite than I expected. Hopefully I can put some miles on it if the weather remains good.
The forum has helped me immensely including NJ’s engine thread, various parts/service from NJ/Trig, Peter Horton, Oddjob, hard to get part from Orcade-Ian and not forgetting Ash’s Dropbox. Plus of course advice and encouragement from members along the way.
I’ve made a site donation - its saved me more.

Just to finish off I've finally found some handlebars that I'm happy with. My search for EU model bars, which seem to have been on French and German models only, has drawn a blank. So looking for alternatives I gambled on Euro spec 500 bars and they fit fine. The only change I had to make was to fit a shorter top brake hose. No need to change existing throttle and clutch cables. Feels just right now, not too upright, and looks better too.

That looks good - I like the silver rear sprocket plate in silver it lightens up the rear end.
