And so it begins again - Classic endurance replica

Sure am, it's a shame that I can't use the green ones as I have a set left over from the Eddie lawson rep

Finally got around to measuring the capacity of the fuel tank and its a whopping 30 litres. Should get get a few laps of Cadwell done before I need to refuel.

Just waiting for it to come back from Grumpys after the loom has been made. Also the fuel tap spigot is going to be moved backwards to clear the carburettors. I stripped the fuel tank and found that it's got some filler in it and a few dents, hopefully Simon can sort it out.
Once it's back I will get it running and check that everything thing works, then the final strip down will happen. All the parts will be sent off to get powdercoated and ceramic coated, along with new tyres. Once that is done a careful rebuild will happen, whist waiting for Simon to finish the paintwork. Not sure what colour yet, initially I didn't want another green bike, but I have seen some very nice endurance paint jobs, so I might have two green bikes in the garage.

Final part done before the strip down to make it all shiny and nice. I have just had the loom done by Gary Hurd at Grumpy's 1260 shop. Top quality job. So, now it turns over and all the lights work.
Next step, strip down this week, ready for the frame to have the final piece of welding done, folled by a trip to Aerocoats to get the powdercoating done.

Finally got it back together today and it ran after only a few seconds, so very happy. I have to check torque the engine bolts and get a bung to go in the clutch push rod seal as it has a side pull clutch cover fitted. There's a few squeaks and rattles, which I will check over. Photos to follow
