Hi all
Bit more tinkering in the garage
Refitted the air box and installed a new air filter.
Also fitted temporarily new throttle cables as the originals were seized solid.
Certainly runs more sweet than my original start up attempt (note carbs not yet balanced) but she also is a bit smoky too maybe from it sitting idle for 10 year plus, but for now happy it just runs.

Next stage before we completely tear it down is to come up with a better solution for the rear sets and some other mounting points for the seat etc while the bike is complete as may need to sort out new brackets and don’t want to start modifying a freshly powder coated frame plus looks like the area where the Center stand mounts will need a repair too as centre stand sits very “over centre”
Catch up again soon
Best wishes Al

Can we be sure that it was the bike and not the washing machine we could hear??????

Little bit of time in the garage this morning.
Before I strip her down been playing around with some aftermarket rear sets to replace the original ropy ones.
After a bit of tweaking with the arm shape and the mounting brackets not too bad a fit.
Will need to sort out linkages later but think we will not need to add any new bracket work for the pegs
Have a good afternoon all
Best wishes Al
