Is that a single contiguous year, or a year broken up and spread across a longer time frame?It’s only been a year, about as long as it took for you to paint your Monster pink

Back in the day my mate lent me his Z750 for a week as he went to Thailand, after one day going out on it the fucking IC Ignitor packed up, fun over FFS!! They are well worth checking it works as it can fuck your day up.
Yeh, evidently these are supposed to be very reliable (according to Cradley Heath Kawasaki) and the new gizmo ones not (according to 2 Dyno Tuners I know), so stuck with it.....Back in the day my mate lent me his Z750 for a week as he went to Thailand, after one day going out on it the fucking IC Ignitor packed up, fun over FFS!!

My 1mm Aluminium Plate came today so made the bracket for the Motogdget Speedo toggle button.
Just a speed sensor bracket to make now and that's all the electrickery bits mounted I think, all ready for wiring which is booked in for September

Today instead of doing last months accounts as planned I decided to make the speed sensor bracket.
First I had to fill in the counter sunk holes on the fork bottom.
I fixed 4 stainless washers into the drill and span them against my power file to whittle the OD down so they were a 0.1mm clearance fit. I did 4 due to the shoulder on the bolt so the nut would tighten fully so I have 2 spares now
Then I whittled the bracket out of 3mm aluminium so it was well sturdy.
Now I need some 7mm spanners to tighten the sensor nuts, sure I had one at least but can't find it anywhere
FE will be along in a mo to say it's not straight!

It's probably with the 10mm spanner taking the piss, fuckers!!Today instead of doing last months accounts as planned I decided to make the speed sensor bracket.

Is that a bit wonky?
No
it's pre straightening and loose as I don't have 7mm spanners. That was posted just for you 
It is perfectly straight now.

I don't know any Mr Predictable. Am I missing out?Nothing. He asked if it was a bit wonky (like Rob's wall sockets) but when he asked it wasn't - try clicking and dragging your mouse just below the last picture for a message I left for Mr Predictable as he is somewhat predictable
Can you clarify - in the picture, is that mounting point wonky or pre-straightened? Or both? And did you use a mouse to straighten it (assuming it's now straight?)
Thanks!
Fitted my super-dooper Earth Cable and Battery to Solenoid Cable. Just waiting on a Solenoid to Starter Cable when my manufacturer sorts one for me. Then I'm all ready for a 2 day slot in September for my wiring guru... at least I can have a little rest now 
Sooooo, finished my 6 weeks or so of wimmins duties so I'm free again 
Spent the afternoon chewing with fuel hose fitment using PTFE stainless braided hose with a nylon weave outer.
Cut using tape and a slicing disc on the angle grinder.
I used a bit of heavy duty bonded heat shrink to stop the ends fraying and fitted some lovely quick release hose couplings from this rather wonderful emporium:

I’m torn between
2. Fucking jubilee clips !!!! You go to all that trouble to finish everything beautifully then spoil it by using fucking jubilee clips !!!!!1!!!
and
3. Is there a nicer alternative to jubilee clips - in my opinion they spoil the finish a bit ?
You decide which though, it’s your build.

You okay hun? Those full moon moments can play havoc with your cycle
Coming together nicely. I agree with Al. You've gone to quite some effort to use the quick release connectors which looks great but it's the lost on what looks like scaffolding when you use srew type cable securing.
