I'm beginning to wonder which I'm destined to be.
The weather outside is mild and sunny and I don't have a bike on the road! Even if I were to get my head down and put everything back together, my coils are away with the bracket so the bike wouldn't run anyway.
I've just renewed my insurance (need it for "insurance" in case of theft, even if the bike is off the road) so all I would have to do is get the bike taxed and I'd be ready to go. (I SORNed the bike for a month or two, to bring the tax cycle more into the times it's off the road.)
I'm coming round to the idea of keeping the bike as stock as it is at the moment and postponing any more customisation until next winter. That way I can continue to buy the parts I need but still get the full riding season. Then when I take the bike off the road next winter I will be able to get right down to the work needed.
Ideally I would like to have a bike which is ready to start and go any-time I feel like riding but the desire to make changes and individualise my ride is just too overpowering, so I somehow doubt if I'll ever get to that stage.
Just back in from some more "tinkering". Was going to move the horn to somewhere in front of the splash plate in front of the rear wheel. I had found out that it would fit in there, from some reports on-line, by guys who had done just that.
I then noticed that there was room on the strap that runs between the frame down-tubes. I have my tubular tax disc holder on there but was sure that the cow-bell horn cover would fit too. And it does. I didn't have time in the failing light to extend the wires but will do that tomorrow.
Will take pics then too.
