Cheers Freddy/Is Vic There, I'm getting there
After a good look at the indicators, I found the screws were rusty, two of the lenses were cracked, one was no longer clear (verging on opaque), two of the threaded fixing bars were too short (the rubbers were missing as well supposedly to make them fit), and the wiring was cracked through to the actual wire in several places.
So after a bit of thought I bought a new set
The fixings on the rear ones were a fair bit too long, as you can see, so I did trim them to length.
Rear ones fitted and wired up,along with the chain guard. Back of the bike now finished (OK I have to hang the exhausts, but you know what I mean).
New handlebars arrived and they don't look that different until you put them together
Quite a bit higher and wider. They certainly make the bike look bigger for some reason. See the old ones on the previous post.
So, rear indicators on and wired up, chain guard cleaned up and fitted, new handlebars on, clutch cable now connected, throttle cables fitted to handlebar end, mirrors on, chrome clock bottoms on (the first lot I got didn't fit and had to be returned
), engine half filled with oil (bowl underneath in case it leaks out
), front brakes plumbed in, and petrol cap on (the was nerve wracking - tapping that pin in so close to the new paintwork
)
Soon be running

Hoping for some decent weather over the weekend so I can give the car a bit of a run, and with that out of the garage I can have a good clean up and find some of the lost bits
