saturday afternoon even better

Image
did not load the pic but just ahead of the xt is a neighbours new army Royal Enfield- took it for a ride last w/end- goes pretty nice but at 120 vibrates from the toes to finger tips

Image

heard the dogs going ape up and down our street- went out to see -to find my neighbor 5 houses up left his gate open and his potbelly pig was causing this- better half and myself herded the chuck of bacon back up the road- never a dull moment in this place
Image

Somehow forgotten to follow up on --When i was joining the swingarm/frame and engine i saw the left inner bearing shoulder(for not a better word) cannot take a dust cup to protect the needle bearing inside- welding does prevent it going on and there is only three cups- havent checked with google yet but it does not look correct-- will have to fix before going further
Image

Next will be to add the wiring-- faack- so far so good

Havent had much time lately for the rebuild but in the last week got stickers and seat back, so did a quick dress up as tank fairing and side covers has to go for clear coat over stickers before refit- then took off again and fitted some odds and ends.
Airbox is pretty beat but seals so cable ties

looking pretty good

many photos but cannot quite place a second breather- one to oil tank and the second must be to airbox but fittings/joins dont quite look right going to airbox

All the routing is in the manual (electrical & control cables) page 41 onwards. :thumb:

From memory the brake line is outside the frame? just nosey through some of the rebuilds (geoff`s or mine) to see for sure.

That breather goes to the airbox (i think? its been five years since i built a bike) :lol:

Looking very tidy indeed, love those graphics, who supplied them?

Brake pipe definitely outside, it has a little bracket to hold it there... :thumb:
don't put it on the inside, you'll melt it on the exhaust.... looking good Joe

Have you got pics on the breather pipe joining the airbox-- two pipes one to oil tank other to airbox- problem with airbox side both pipes are same diameter :mornin: diagrams dont show clear. Really thought i took enough pics... Hopefully later in week we will get get new front fork rubbers from the good people up north :bigeek:
