    And, thanks to the lovely people at imgbb (who don't charge and, seemingly, don't have advert-overload)...

    Holy Shit Dave, you won't know yourself in there mate! Might want to get a compass or a map of something as well so you don't get lost? Nice work.

    I tried to do something, I really did...


    After a lot of rooting through boxes and trying to find the 'safe place' where I put the bits that still need to be fitted, I finally found the Mikuni HSR...


    Buoy'd with enthusiasm, I also found the clutch pack, and whipped off the cover to get it fitted...
    Hang on, there's one in there already? How did that happen? I don't remember fitting it...


    Hey ho, at least I can fit the clutch lock-up while the cover is off, right? That'll be a no. The lock-up is for a five bolt clutch, not the six bolt that I have...


    I'm now wondering if I've got my lock-ups mixed up, as I'm sure I have another one somewhere that is supposedly for a GSX-R, maybe I got them confused? The problem is, I can't find it as it is also in a 'safe place'...


    This isn't a case of one step forward, one step back. But more a case of several steps sideways...

    It continues...
    Copping the hump with the clutch side of the engine, I moved to the other.
    I managed to find the alternator stator and rotor, which was nice, and bolted the stator into the engine cover with some lovely fresh thread lock. Then, as the 'nose' on the crank looked a little rough, I lapped the rotor on with some valve grinding paste, cleaning it all scrupulously afterwards. Getting somewhere eh?
    Er, no, not really...
    To fit the rotor I needed to get all the starter clutch and ring gear bits together and fit them as well, and could I find them? Could I bollocks. I ,looked in every single box in the garage - Every. Single. One - and even though I can remember exactly where the bits were before I emptied the shed before the house move, and I've found the other bits that were in that cupboard, I can't find the bits that I need right-the-fuck now!
    Mind you, I did find my fuel tap (for the second time) which is nice...
    And Si, my hand is out of plaster now, no pins left in it, so it's nowhere near as gimpy as it was a month ago...

    A 260 mile round trip to the old Shed Of Dread and I found a box of stuff, including some bits I needed, and lots that I don't...

    Ooh, looky here!

    And I found not one, but two ring gear...

    Which matches the two clutch baskets and two alternator stators that I seem to have collected somehow...

    And also got a bellmouth from Chinaland, although I'm not convinced yet and may opt for a proper filter...#

    With a mind like a sieve, and an online search revealing no insight, I don;'t know what gasket will fit this tap...

    That's the same as the old GSXR one isn't it? Try one of them.
    Good old Shed of Dread, so many goodies lost in it's chasm of procrastination.

    You thought I'd forgotten about this project?
    Well, I sort of had, as been distracted with other stuff...

    But back on it now. Gt a GSX-R gasket for the fuel tap, which hasn't got the 'bars' that cross it, and also found a rubber Pingel one that could work if I cut out a bigger hole in the middle, so I might use that.
    Also got all the starter clutch bits sorted, with rebuild kit, new needle roller etc, and cleaned up the utterly manky ring gear and idler gear that had lots of hard bits between the teeth that I assume are bits of old magnet from a knackered alternator...
    I'll try and post pics of this and other stuff when I remember where my whatsit-thingummy account is...

    Thanks lads
    Got a bit delayed as tried to fit starter ring gear and rotor etc but I can't find the bolt that holds the rotor on the end of the crank, so have had to order a new one.
    But carried on with bits and bobs, alongside another project (that I'll probably document on here as well, don't think I started a thread...). The standard clock have been gutted, and I'm using an aftermarket rev counter / speedo jobbie in one clock 'pod', and a boost gauge in the other. They're fitted, but need some sort of surround to fit in the pod to make them look right. AlClick image for larger version.

ID:	8522so, the pods need some glass in them, but I'll be using perspex, and I ordered that fro t'interwebs this morning...
