in which major clanger does some essential work...

Check that Tig bottle! the new one half full and I ended up with a free bottle!

 After a bit of practise! welded a new biltwell seat bracket, not pretty, had to get the grinder out

 the chain still cuts up the mudguard so enlarged the cutouts - again!

 bottom head race worn after only 7000 miles!

 so new races in the freezer, maybe it was a little loose

 patchwork rattle can work on frame for this year

 sissybar broken tab

the new oil tank rubber mount 

had to have the obligatory speed holes

and a new front exhaust tab welded

In search of a reliable spark

 Morris Magneto 74L

 got some tune up parts from Alex @ Grizzlys

new coil and points / condenser, a cap and leads

and to stop me going totally insane starting the bitch, 

I'm sending it off to be checked for output 

and the magnets re-energised

bling time

 hand engraved magneto timing chest for the bitch

 New bushes pressed in and reamed by Baz

Be careful with the pinion shaft bush if you buy a timing chest cover. This was fitted with an early type (pre 72 side oiler) and later model pinion shafts are end oilers (no side oil hole in bush required).
