Thought i would start a project thread up for the bike seen as i havent had a project thread for years now....
heres some pics the now, will get more when new parts are fitted!















Now for the broken bits which im scouring the net for to get bits already....




Just on the one bit of fairing is the damage quite bad, its still all secure enough but doesnt look fresh when you are close up...









Got the rearset and the clipon coming this week then need some road tax

set about getting the rearset and clipon today,

rearset one of the bolts is chewed on the footpeg so couldnt get that sorted...

opened up my clipon to discover it was for a G model and not a J1 that was advertised on ebay...

also need a bit of help......... has anyone fitted a clipon before? what do i need to take off? just the top yoke or what? then am gona have to get the tracking done again right?!?!?

whats to come off in this pic to get to it???






also when i got the brake light cable was off... couldnt see where it goes?

does it sit onto the brake pedal spring???


And another pic as i took a few today!!!

small update, thats the bike basically done now,

new fairing, clip on, rear set, indicator and mirror, all for the grand sum of about £180.... so £580 all in including bike....

defo got a bargain i think!!!

one problem i do have though is the rear brake light, ive fixed it up with a cable tie at the moment so that when i step on the brake pedal it does come on, but this aint supposed to be the way it should be and i need an MOT asap...






you can see in the pic the cable with the small hole that should connect somewhere to activate the brake light, i was under the impression that this should connect to that small spring, but no chance that it is going to come down that far, and also tried the spring both ways and no luck.,,,




and one with 2 mirrors at last




ALSO, is fast flashing indicators an MOT failure? they are working, just a litttle faster than they should be lol

Looking good mate i think another little spring is needed to get the brake light switch working, and fast flashing indicators is a failure unfortunatly, you will need a new relay for smaller indicators.

Re. fast flashing indicators? Just one side, or all?

If its one side, its a bulb gone on that side. If its all, its the relay thats wrong. Often if you change from indicator bulbs to indicator LEDs it causes the same thing.

Also try the connections. I had a similar problem when i fitted mine. It came down to a bad connection inside the indicator itself. Ended up buying a new set for the rear.

just the one side, and funnily enough it is the side that got replaced by an LED style bulb as well...

may just try get another indicator to match at front and try again...

what does this other little spring look like then for the brake light switch??

psh, some MOT testers, eh? I went to one station, a local friendly guy, it was gonna fail on something like the brakes needed bleeding or something similar, i can't remember now, anyway, instead of failing me, he helped me do it during the mot

For the LED indicators, you need a new relay for them, Its something to do with the resistors in it.
