Are they red or ginger?

Time to stop now. While I still have some finger tips!! lol

Nice job, keep up the good work

When they are cold a quick rub over with WD40 on a cloth occasionally (unless you ride the bike all year around) will help keep them a nice copper colour, which they will go after a short ride, but I like the look

I like the look of that Moto Paton 650 Jamie

Well done Mac

I must press on and get mine painted, well the front one at least I'm not sure on the colour yet

Chris.

21 mile test run carried out, stopped off at a layby and had a play with my mixture screws (as you do)
Think I got things a bit closer. I got told off by a lorry driver on his break and told to keep the noise down !!! I moved on coz he looked a bit grumpy and was about 2 foot taller than me !
It was good to get riding again
Anyway, a couple of pictures silver/black storm



Still got the back end to do, in a couple of months (powdered wheel, C&s change and swing arm polish and grease

good work kev...
well I started my bike for the first time in a week, looked at it lovingly and then covered it back up, it's ferking cold out there, I wish I had a garage...

Ive only got a "lean too" but I must admit its better than nothing and seems to keep the frost off

last year I considered building a lean too, but I went with a 3m x 3m gazebo, which I have never used....
I just haven't got the get up and go, it got up and went.....

Looking good Kev .
I've received two more sets of cree LED today .
I'm going to mount them in a tail light that Jamio gave me as they are 10000x brighter than the LEDs that were init .

Valve clearances done just need to double check I ain't timed it 180' out then toque up the flywheel Allen bolts and it's sa ready .
I've opted for a standard flywheel for now till I have a lighter one ready :-) .
I might have it fitted the weekend :-)

good work lloydie, double check everything dude.....

Is there a way of checking it's not 180 out without running it or stripping the heads? I had a bit of a faff with mine, set all the timing based on the workshop manual and what I've read on here, but the crank has gone round without any camshafts in, so it's 50/50 I suppose. I'd have kept count if I knew what 180 out was but it's one of those things I've seen mentioned and never looked in to.
