Well, today has seen a few bits arrive at last.
2 oil filters arrived, along with a master cylinder rebuild kit, and a bolt for the front brake lever, which was missing. It's not the correct one, but it'll do the job. 2 oil filters, as I am changing the oil after a few days, and then again after 200 miles, just to be safe. Also arrived, a spanking new NGK surpressed spark plug cap, which looks great, very retro, and some more electrical connectors, as I have used bloody loads!! Oh yes, and 5 metres of solder, always useful for....soldering stuff!
Not fitting anything today, too tired after a busy week at work, so off for a few beers tonight, and then set about sorting the master cylinder tomorrow morning. Have also bought a new rim tape, tube and rear tyre. over £100 but once that lot is fitted, and the replacement stand and front wheel, it will actually look like a proper bike, and aactually, will not be far from finished. Tyre is a Metzler Karoo, not used them before, but they get good reports around the world on KLR forums, so I'll give it a go. Will buy a new Metzler Karoo front when the bike is ready for the road, but the knackered old tyre on the front will do for moving around in the garden etc. Onward and upward !!
