I then got my mate Dale to give me a hand lowering the lump off the table and onto the scissor stand so I could lift it into the frame. We managed to get the trellis bolts in no problems but the swingarm would not go on with the washers. After a quick check it was apparent that I needed to skim back the coating on the mating area of the swingarm.....I should have checked this earlier. Anyway 2 mins with the dremel and the swingarm and washers popped into place easy as pie.
Unfortunately, I had to take the clubmans off as I had decided to let the wife have a share of this bike so she can complete her CAT A this year. Old bars painted up and back on.
Exhaust system goes back together.
Battery and carbs back in.
Tank comes back from the painters.
After I popped the tank back on and boy does it look nice, I wrapped the grips with some flat leather strap.
Then put some yellow HT leads on to complement the gold.
Getting there.
