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.

Man that white wall kinda ruins that pic for me, can hardly make out the gas tank ya made.

If you try the stock approach, at least put a zephyr sticker on it

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)?
