I did about 40 miles on it today - did I mention the seller had it MOT'd and the belts changed last week!
But I did put the standard cans back on it first.

It does 'go' very well, but I almost needed help getting off it afterwards.
The clip-ons are angled down at a really silly rake, it feels like @45deg but is probably only @30deg.



I'll have to put some different less downward angled ones on.

No matter how much I look at it I can't like that fairing or seat unit.



And that big pad needs to come off the back of the tank.
It just peels off, but reveals a big metal 'nipple' welded to the tank which is just for position. I'm hoping I can grind it off, get a small patch of paint on it for protection and then use a more conventional tank protector to cover the blemish.

i'm not sure how it got an MOT, because neither the Indicator or High beam warning lights on the dash work.
Unfortunately they are PCB mounted LEDs, not bulbs, so I'll need to investigate that.

I didn't have any other issues, but whilst I'm doing the bodywork conversion I'll be sending the ECU off to have the Immobiliser deactivated, which means I could use some more conventional clocks instead, possibly reverting back to a mechanical speedo at the same time.

Oh and Gazza, don't worry about the headlight, that's all part of the plan.
