I do indeed Clive :roll:
More importantly - my engineer has returned the centre cylinder which is u/s as the liner is cracked - so you know whats coming next - Anyone got a centre cylinder 60 or 60.5mm - but will be re-bored to 61mm to match the others - please :oops:
Thanks.
John

Dont know if anyone else has put this but it might be worth trying Pete in the spares dept at D+K?
Advert on the Kawi2strokes.com Forum (which took over from the old world wide forum) may be worth ago to :wink:

Finished playing with the wiring loom - seems everything is working now. Including front & rear brake lights, signals, parking lights. Can't check neutral light or charge light.
Will be interesting to connect the main loom to the motor and see what else works :o

Thanks Hal....seen that before somewhere :? Apparently the early h1 clocks are a cowsun to do so I'm guessing a premium on top of the £170 thats quoted. Heard at the curry nite you have moved out of Middx then ? Somewhere with a more Anglo Saxon :lol: population I hope?

The problem with early clocks isn't in the actual doing of them as I understand it, but that they are "naked" and there is nowhere to hide any markings etc that will occur in the pulling apart and re-assembly. Lots of care and a delicate touch is therefore needed.

I've now moved up to be part of the "home counties" set, though to be fair Teddington could hardly be thought of as overly "cosmopolitan". :smt023

Neah, we have overcome that particular issue, early H1 clocks are like a Swiss watch inside compared to the later Ones that are like a digital watch - there are a LOT more components and work involved :roll:
