I sourced a complete cable set from Japan. No idea on quality but took the risk.
Those rear indicator mounts you made look the part.
Is the front mudguard mount original or a feked product?

It's a Fecked product Tim. The front mudguard is one of those with the moulded mud flap that look pig ugly and I think meant for a Spanish trial bike. The mudflap was broken so I cut it off at the mould line and reversed the mudguard. I thought I'd found a solution to the non availability of the genuine item but now nobody has any stock of the Spanish type ones in white. Hopefully Shedworks will make me a pair of his repro Honda ones in white👍.
Thanks Johnny, this one has been a long road, I'd never do another one with parts being so difficult to find and especially electrical parts and wiring.

It's looking brilliant Dave. Better than factory. 👍
Laverda Dave:
Tim, Do you have one of these springs at all? Nobody has one, even CMSNL. I have it on my watch list but don't hold out much hope! I have fitted the r/h footrest without the return spring fitted otherwise I can see carnage when I go to kickstart it and break the knuckle (400/4 anyone🫣).
Anyway, I found someone who can make one-off and small runs of springs as long as they have one to copy of course......
If you have one Tim I could get it copied and maybe get a few made, I'm sure they'll sell like hot cakes, or 400/4 knuckles if they were available 👍
Laverda Dave:
Oops, senior moment, this spring......

Thanks Gareth.
I'm surprised how a small bike can be so fiddly to build. One thing I found out the very hard way is to fit the small rear brake rod lever onto the splined shaft of the actual brake lever itself along with the 6mm x 25mm bolt BEFORE fitting the engine into the frame because there is absolutely no room to fit it afterwards!
