Robbo:
I've had two solid weeks in the workshop and my bike has it's MOT tomorrow.

Here's a list of what I've done so far:

Stripped all the PRR fairings and tank for restoration at a later date
New caliper pistons and seals all round
Stripped the front caliper paint
New brake pads all round
New Loom (biggest, longest, most tedious job of all)
New front light (from double to single)
New rear lights
Handmade rear light/number plate bracket
New indicators (including building a separate indicator loom and installing bulbs and holders to the instrument panel)
New clutch plates and bearings
New cables all round
New plugs
Stripped and lacquered 400/4 tank and fitted it to the frame
Made and covered a new seat
New air filters
Carb strip down and repair - replacing all internals, jets and gaskets
New grips
Fixed exhaust - stripped of old baffles and new ones put in (but will probably get a new Marving one)
New side and center stands
New battery, fuses
Made a new horn button - looks great!
New horn
Adapted and fitted an older K series front mudguard
Fitted some john tickle style headlamp fork clamps
Stripped and repaired both master cylinders
Made some racing number ally side panels and vinyl cut stickers and edging ('79 - year of the bike)
Cleaned up all the chrome but left all the black paint on the engine half coming off - adds to the rat look...

I will post some pictures when I work out how, fingers crossed for tomorrow - it smokes a bit from the 4 into 1 when the revs are high and a small leak from the oil filter housing but aside from that all seems good, can't wait to ride it.

UK Pete:
Wow Robin, you have been busy, lookforward to seeing the pictures,  good luck with the MOT

Waggles:
Sounds an interesting project, looking forward to the pics, good luck with MOT!

Robbo:
Passed with no advisories! Did a 50 mile coastal ride to celebrate - it was great, bike handled really well but my goggles dug into my eyes at any speed over 80 so I didn't open her right up. When I finally get on the computer I'll load some pics as my phone won't do it!

Waggles:
Woo hoo! Well done.
