I feel total achievement putting me under crackers on never mind making a motorbike

Here is a start for you: https://assets.publishing.service.g...e/1056066/how-to-get-a-motorcycle-licence.pdf
That chrome is bloody ugly innit?
Yes, that's why there's no Chrome on the bike
The polished surface is as tasteful as a Harley rider with tassels ... still, if the jacket fits I suppose.
The half polished surface of the cases that aren't finished yet as the clutch mechanism is still being manufactured - well that's amazebobs - still, it won't be a mirror polish like you fancy yet slow types like
My clutch cable kit came and I've routed and fitted the outer sheath - made an additional support bracket and fitted the fairing to check it all clears - and it did nothing really shows once the fairing is on apart from the Clutch Cover area.
The routing is smooth with no restrictions which is nice and hopefully with the overall clutch mechanism design will give a very light clutch - at least in comparison to the standard set up.
Just the cable to crop now and to get my mate to splay and solder the nipple in place...
Beer now

Fitted a Silicon sleeve to the top half of the Clutch Cable to prevent rubbing on full lock against the Headlamp / Fairing bracket. Also had the nipple fitted so all connected up now - just waiting for the internal clutch activation shaft to be finalised which will be soon, then I can get the clutch operating for the first time
I might change the Red shrink wrap on the bare cable to black as it's a bit too bling - I thought it might draw attention to the mechanism but it's perhaps a tad over the top

It’s all good as AndyB loves a bit of red bling.Fitted a Silicon sleeve to the top half of the Clutch Cable to prevent rubbing on full lock against the Headlamp / Fairing bracket.

That was my initial thought...
Indeed, they didn't have red in 1981
It has lighter wheels than the original to offset itWon’t it just bunch up when you pull the clutch in
but it’s a race replica do away with it , think about the weight saving
- and no it won't bunch up 
Might swap you for my 350LC if your bike maintains it's present standards 
Luckily you can't as @Robarano has first dibs on yoursMight swap you for my 350LC if your bike maintains it's present standards

Ordered some bespoke lamp covers yesterday, 2 or 3 week lead time, but they are made exactly to the profile and mountings used (if I got my measurements correct). They were a bit pricey

Nice period touch.....but I'm guessing not too many folks will notice the red clutch cable in the shade of these, lol.
