That sucks, don't know where your new stator is coming from but "CARMO Electronics" based in the Netherlands do rewinds for around €100

I bet you can't wait. It's a testament to the standard of your work that it's gone through the TUV
My brother in law lives in Heilbronn (not to far from you I believe) so I know what fantastic roads you will have to enjoy (we passed through there last June on the way back from Italy but the schedule was too tight to grab a coffee with you, maybe next time ?)

About time for an update I reckon...
Got the bike back about two weeks ago. Put about 500km on it and have got through all the teething problems. Have a very slight oil leak around the stator wires but other than that it seems pretty dry. Need to look at the jetting sometime as well - it doesn't like going slow at all! Also may need to lean it out a bit if I'm going to keep riding in 30-35° heat. I'm hoping that won't be an issue for long, though.
The license plate bracket needs some tidying up, but I'm calling this one "finished" - at least, as finished as any project ever is...
