Cheers guys - both your bikes are looking great also - along with a few others on this forum which the owners must be very proud of.

Will keep you posted on the start-up if I can get my head around the last bits of wiring which is not my favourite subject.
 
Nice build. Looks really good.

I think the upper arm lever (part 06.0027) on the front drum brake needs to be flipped 180 deg so that both the upper and lower arms are parallel to each other. To achieve this you may have to increase the length of the cable and also the connecting rod.

Mark, your bike looks fantastic! Do you mind telling us how much it ended-up costing? I've got a very sorry looking '73 850 Interstate in desperate need of restoration, so it would be useful to know, before I take the plunge. Unfortunately, there's a lot more parts missing on mine, so it's going to hurt!

Just look at it like an opportunity to replace those parts with new and improved ones 8)
