Hi all here is an update on this. My first of several problems I can forsee coming up The carb inlet openings are blanked off as they normally wouldn't normally be seen, as they are inside the airbox, os I've had to open them also since the cable are not connected I have to show the inner cables and the nipples on the ends of those, think I've opened a can of worms here, we will have to see what else crops up.

Hi all as I said opened a whole bag of worms, of course with no tank or seat on the wiring loom would be visible, advice please does this look convincing ( obviously there would be loads more wires really but I don't have any thinner wire to hand and I don't want the loom to get too thick)
I realise I need to add the copper connectors to the end of the wires, and I realise the wires should be wrapped in black insulating tape, also the loom would not be tied with string, this I purely to check if its worth using this method.

Looks good Ken, If you are not happy with the wiring loom you could always have it removed and just on the floor in a coil, wouldnt notice the wire thickness then - could be in preparation for a frame blast and spray?

I did make a wiring harness once by stripping out the fine copper wires from elec cable and spraying them various colours then twisting black wire round them as tie wraps BigGrin

Starting to look a lot like a garage now, excellent work! Will you be putting in a bike lift as well for the frame to sit on? I think that would look pretty cool Cool
