    All good Gix; prefer honesty!

    Cheers Yella.

    Will try to stick it out with the mask but may get something for the interim encase the mask turns out to be a bug bare!

    Fair bit of work to do but in reality I think all I have left to buy is a set of plate lights and another set of fork brackets

    Bike won't start now!

    Killed battery trying to get it to fire.

    Battery back on charge for another try tomorrow.

    Has been a few months since its fired so may be something simple yet.

    I was going to say, if it's upside down that's why it won't start.....

    Are you getting good sparks on the plugs? Airbox attached properly? All carbs getting fuel? No wasps nests, mouse chewing anywhere? Obvious stuff I know, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

    No idea on all of the above as I had hoped to get it fired quickly and didn't get time to strip anything down to check through methodically.

    I plan on going through a similar list to the above tonight when I get home.

    i am such a knob; bike now running like a sewing machine!

    Decided to start my fault finding with fuel and lucky I did as it turns out my fuel tap doesn't flow very much fuel in the ON position! Turned it to RES and have her a kick and she fired happily after a few seconds turning to fill the lines and carbs!

    With the bike running and looking pretty good I'm hoping to get it on the road AND RIDING by summer. Now that seems like an easy timeline but bare in mind I'll be out of action in a sling until the end of Winter!

    Been looking at the tail end and I'm not happy with the holes left in the tail fairings after I removed the grab handle/spoiler so I'm looking into a repair material called Plastex to fill in the gaps.

    Unfotunately it means I'll definitely have to paint or wrap the plastics and tank.

    Received undertray today so hopefully have that fitted soon.

    Plate holder looks way to big so guessing I'll be making one up then!

    Before I send the bike off to Yella I've decided to have a custom risers top mount for my Acewell so hopefully I'll have that back in a few weeks then Yella can hook the dash and headlight up and tidy the harness.
