Task: Re-assembly

Task: Re-assembly

As you can probably imagine, this can be a bit of a nightmare.  The bike’s been in pieces for a very long time and so it’s very difficult to work out what goes where.  So, I tried to be very methodical.  First, the engine/clutch/gearbox need to go together, then the frame can be fitted around them.  Next, the swinging arm, front forks, suspension components and wheels (with brake discs) and side-stand can be added; then you have a rolling chassis that you can wheel out of the garage to work on in the sunshine.  The electronics tray was already fitted to the frame.  I had great fun working out where and how to fit the rear-set footpegs/controls, and routing the clutch cable – the photos and video were invaluable.
