I do indeed Clive
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
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

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

Last set that Rick did for me came out at £300, quality workmanship........they are a mare to do hence the price

Might be interesting to see what Mr Bond charges for a set

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

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
