Now to put it all back together

[Madruss]

I'll need to have a look in the parts box for the rubber stoppers
Can't remember ever seeing them in the strip down either. The shrouds were never in position for the previous 2 owners to me 
I'd reckon the only reason they weren't turfed away as they had Triumph on them

Crutch end stop rubbers, chair / table leg protectors, bit's of rubber hose or if you know anyone with a 3D printer, print them with flexible filament 

Really should be there to stop the metal ends rubbing against the tank nylon, especially with the temps you guys get

That was along my line of thinking.
I'm pretty sure they weren't in place when I stripped it down, especially being owner # 5  :icon_redface:

Found a length of radiator hose which is a good tight fit over mounts, hope it isn't too thick.
Left my phone/camera out in the machine at work so not photo today.

[Madruss]

Well, I found one, so an old piece of heater hose is similar in size !

Looks like that'd do the job nicely. 

[Madruss]

Well lucky me found the other plug on the back of the bench.
Now the JB "marine weld" has set & sealed the tank leak, I can continue the reassembly 

[Madruss]

As I'm getting closer to a finished product, I now see the handlebars look bent lower on the righthand side  
The bike, I was told fell over in a shipping container while in storage but I'm pretty sure that was a   story 
So I'll be in search    of another set of bars.
While I'm there, I'll try to track down an upholsterer, to fill the dip in the seat being a 190cm tall rider !

Good progress   

If you need measurements, let me know, I have a spare straight bar, as you do 

[Madruss]

I took some measurements of the handlebars, several actually, to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion.
appears the righthand side is 15mm down & 15mm pushed back.
Also, I repaired the tube type bracket which holds the fairing & instrument cluster, it was broken directly below the  tachometer.
Where this bracket mounts onto the frame, should it come straight forward? It appears to be aiming to the left when sitting on the bike. 

[Madruss]

My repair to the fairing bracket.
Looks straight from the front. Second guessing repairs from over 12 months ago

[Lee337]

Are we nearly there yet? 

[Sin_Tiger]

The stay to the headstock should be dead straight ahead.

[Madruss]

As the bike must have fallen on the righthand side thus pushing brackets etc to the left.
I'll see how the fairing connects up to the tank & the headlight area.
Isn't a pretty beast  , with it's fair share of battle scars & me being the 5th owner

[Madruss]

This'll be a Bob the Builder theme repair " Can he fix it"  or buy another set.
