Second stage progress.
Off with the old Micron exhaust, although there isn't much left of it as most of it seems to be holes and patches!
Got an OE front pipe from E-Bay
It's not 100% but then nor is the rest of the bike!
Needed a bit of welding here and there.
Looks OK once painted
Tacho cable was missing (apart from this end bit!) so a new one of those went in. I don't like the look of those oil pipes, think I will have to take them off and give them a check over.
Found these on E-Bay in Italy. They're in such good condition it's hard to imagine why the bike that they came off was broken.
Anyway, as you may have guessed from the above pic, I have decided to take off the fairing and go back to the original headlight cover.
So it was off with the fairing and its associated brackets. I found that some of the wiring had been extended, I think because the headlamp is mounted further forward in the fairing so I can remove a lot of the bodged connectors. I suppose that many moons ago, someone was so I excited about fitting his new fairing to his bike that he didn't bother to do a decent job on the electrics.
That's better
The indicator isn't original but it looks period and isn't expensive
Indicator problem, the left and indicator mount which is mounted to the top clamp of the forks incorporates the mount for the choke so it is still there. The right hand one has been removed because it was redundant when the fairing was fitted so now I'm going to have to try to find one or make one
And lastly for this addition is the new Marving exhaust.
Next up will be sorting out that rear carrier and the rear mud guard where the Micron exhaust has melted it, oh and also tackle those oil pipes - watch this space!
