next steps

I've done the rewiring on the bars but will wait a bit to do the ignition switch.

I removed the connectors, rather than cut and solder joints as I did the last time. It all went a lot easier than I had expected. So now I've got the bars back on and am just waiting for the longer clutch cable which I had to buy to fit the higher, wider bars.
At least the throttle cables and the brake line fit.
The speedo, with the black mount, fits nicely below the bars and the top yoke. I'll need to find some where to mount the regulator for the power supply in order to get the stock speed sensor fitted.

Do I now go ahead and buy a black head lamp?

in bits once more ... (sigh)

So, now that autumn's here and winter is just around the corner, my bike has once again taken on that all too familiar look of an unfinished project!

I've removed the tank, taken off the t-bars and fairing. I really think the black billet yokes will look much better without the fairing. It was OK covering up the stock yokes.
Next I'm going to bring the bars indoors and rewire the hand controls internally over a couple of evenings.

When I had the bike started and running I noticed that I had made an error in wiring in the ignition switch. Instead of the first position, only switching on the side light and the indicators with the second position enabling the headlight and engine running, I can start the bike with the switch in both positions. It does work that way but I'll try to sort it out while I'm re-doing the rest of the wiring.

I've also bought a step down regulator which I'm going to wire in to the speedo loom in order to run the speedo off the stock speed sensor. That will save me the expense of buying another hall sensor to fit to the rear pulley or, even more expensive, if neater, option, buying an axle sensor. (Which I'm not even sure I can get for a 25mm axle!)

Then I'll just buy the bits I need as I can afford them and get the bike rebuilt over the winter. There is stuff I can get on with before the purchases though. Rubbing down and filling the tank is probably the biggest.

I'm setting myself a target of being ready for an MOT in March.
