Motor all back together and ready to fire with new 1075cc Wiseco's and yet another head gasket etc.

While waiting for the barrels to be bored I took the opportunity to make a guard to protect the carb inlets from muck throw up from the tyre.
After a bit of head scratching I came up with this little lot .




Rubber grommets and top hat sleeves locate in the frame gusset holes

And the suitably shaped alloy guard simply bolts on

Reg/rec has been re-located on to the inside of the guard as there was a lot of heat radiating from the engine to it's original position under the tank.



That should hopefully keep the muck out.
Just need to give it a paint or polish along with a few other brackets that need finishing and it's just the motor and charging to finally sort out.

All finished and running :D
Front mudguard brackets now painted black and other loose ends sorted.
Charging system appears to be working now and the engine is still in one piece so far :lol:
Just waiting for a sensible insurance quote so I can get it out on the road and set it up.
Will post some better pic's when I get the chance.

Yeah! I know i'll take some better pic,s when the weather fines up here.
These are the one's I took to email to the insurance this morning , I declared all the mods and expected a real shock but they came back with £120. fully comp with agreed value, unlimited mileage, overseas cover, all the bells and whistles etc so I am one happy customer.
Just need a sunny day for the MOT then the fun begins with ironing out the bugs and fueling :)

That doesnt sound like a bad price, I have a buddy who insured a 600cc sportbike, $400 a month. Imagine how shocked he was

I have to say this is probably one of five "cafe" bikes I have seen that actually are nice great job man

Amazing craftsmanship. As always, stunned and in awe. One question though, can you pass MOT without a headlight? Atleast I haven't noticed one (or the discussion about it)?
