two wheels again

I've finally got the rubber on the front wheel! The bike is now off the lift.

I picked up the front wheel on Saturday morning and then, with it fitted, I set forth on getting some of the little things which need doing. I tried wiring in the AMP connector I had bought for the ignition switch. It just wont go together and I don't know why. The wires are crimped to the pins but although the pins fit into the body of the connector they just wont click into place. I'll give it another go today but in case it doesn't go, I've ordered a three-way Deutsch connector.

I also had to spend a bit of time bending the bracket on the front mudguard. The spacers I had would have fitted but meant that the guard was sitting high above the tyre. It just didn't look right as the guard doesn't cover the full width of the tyre. So what I've done is cut one of the spacers lengthways and bent the supports out and more to a right angle where the fasteners bolt them onto the fork legs. Looks much better.

I feel as if I'm getting there at last. I'm just waiting for the discs to arrive.

Before that I've just got the oil changes to do then re-fit the pipes and fuel tank, tighten all the fasteners and I should be ready to go!
