Well finally making some real progress. I am determined to have her on the road for IOW. I have had a few hiccups, for example I bought a nice chrome centre stand only to find that a standard stand will note fit the really late vijays. I managed to find a new one but that is only one of many differences. Still can use that on the next one. I managed to spot the other differences before paying out. I can almost hear her

A lovely job mate cant wait to see the finished job.,

Be on the road in a week or so

Is that GP turquoise you have gone for? like that..

That’s looking good so far Phil I can’t wait to see it on the road, that back rest is like an arm chair I am thinking you’re not the tallest of people so you won’t get the benefit from it but I am sure your pillion will be comfy.

Thanks for the kind remarks. Yes being a bit of stumpy does cause a few challenges but I can touch the road with my toes on the Burgman. Arron when the backrest folds forward its really good

Well not quite on the road. sorry Bryno I know you said a week but its close. Its amazing what difference a week makes. Getting to the end of the dirty jobs. I have got the electric string to contend with but looks like it could just make IOW

what a well organised shed you have phil, thatwould give bryn a run for his money !

Looks bloody lovely Phil, will be nice to see another classic make it back onto the road,
I see you haven't cabled or harnessed it up yet? I always make that the first job before I fit anything else, makes life so much easier later on in the build. I am sure you have a plan though. Good luck with the rest of the project

Hi Gaz

Totally agree with you on the wiring but I have spent countless hours trying to work out what to do with it.
I have done dozens of rebuilds in the old days and usually I just buy a loom follow the diagram and everything works.
I have found a number of wiring diagrams and have bought two looms but so far I have been unable to match them up.
I think I could get the headset end to work but I have five wires coming from the stator. red,grey,green,light brown and dark brown. non of the diagrams has this and just dont know whats what. Think the green is ignition.
I have tried lcgb forum but the concensus there is get a casa loom and junk the five wire stator. I am reluctant to do that as although most of the wiring was incomplete when I got her, it did run and must have been working with that stator.
Sure I will get to the bottom of it but it is a bit frustrating,
I can fix millions of pounds worth of aeroplane and an indian GP gives me grief.
She does look pretty though.
