Thanks Bitsa
Seen the pair on the CMSL website and was 59.90 euro's inc VAT and postage - and having just spent £250 doing up the carbs, intake rubbers and airbox this weekend, I'm in remission in the spending dept! Just spending a fortune on this build - won't be much left that won't be new when its finished!

Been there done that and still going on.I do not know your age but at mine I do not care anymore if I want it I get it.As in previous posts my bike follows me into the furnace so I do not care.One difference is where I live apart from a bar there is nothing else to spend my money on so I am re living my youth to the full.Might not help you but you only live once.I am going to a massive bike boot fair in March and always keep my eyes out for member requirements you never know.Let me, you and others what they are looking for.
Cheers oops to many pastis

I'm 59 but still got a mortgage unfortunately but spend a lot on the bikes - but have to keep her in doors happy with holidays! The annoying thing is I (like most of us) owned a lot of the big money bikes old jap bikes when I was younger - Honda Fours, ZIB, Phil Read Rep and CB1100RB - hindsight springs to mind.  Thanks for the offer to source parts Bitsa

Phil,
For a tenner + 1/2 an hour of your time you can have a nice brand new set of cables - with the added bonus of "I made those myself"

http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/cable/batterycable.php

Suggest REF 196; they'll sell it by the cm, and it comes in red & black. Over order by at least 20cms.

For the connectors try..

http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/battconns/batttermls.php

Choose T 22-6, T22-8 or T22-10 according to the required hole sizes of your battery terminal connectors, solenoid posts, starter connector & earth connector.

Prepare the various lead lengths, poke the bared wire into its connector & heat the outside with a small blow torch (I use the missuses from her kitchen... don't ask). From the opposite end to where the lead enters feed in solder wire... which should melt nicely / flow throughout the inside of the connector terminal.

Treat yourself to a few PVC insulators (AC2?) to make the job look professional.

Good luck with whatever you decide,
Simon

PS ~ Bitsa, great attitude!
