Now to put it all back together

[Madruss]

Ok,
Just had fresh oil in & a ten minute run, so I might run it for longer, then another change as it hasn't been out on the road coming up for 2 years.

[Madruss]

The Hepco Becker bars, I'd rather call them "brush bars" than crash bars, have taken a lot more time than I'd envisaged
I found there removal from the Calyso donor bike was rather easy without the airbox in the way.
Stripping all the fairing etc back off the black bike made me feel   
The top left rear engine mount bolt was "fun" remove, the nut inparticular was  Anyway the bars are 90% together apart from the front cross bar.

[Madruss]

One good thing came out of removing the left side fairing was I hadn't bolted the water hose guard in place.
Upon attempting to bolt it in position, I found the clutch line required rerouting behind the hose

I found the clutch line required re routing behind the hose 

And up in front of and between carbs 1 & 2 following the same route as the coolant bypass hose if you're being pedantic like me   

The plastic over engine shields look a bit odd    unless that's just your temporary placement.

Coming together nicely though 

[Madruss]

Well there's another re route, the coolant bypass hose seemed a bit out of place.    I'll rectify it.
The two plastic coil covers were in the topbox when I bought the bike. The previous owner said he never knew where they attached/fitted as the owner before him didn't have them inplace. Where I placed them is correct ?

[Madruss]

Ah, another bracket which requires another screw near the exhaust

[Sin_Tiger]

This might help.

[Madruss]

Well  now this all makes sense.
I'm in Australia, those parts were inside out & upside down 
Correct fit now 

[Madruss]

The overflow hose routing was corrected before we refitted the mikuni's too!
Supposed to be Autumn but 35c on my western facing deck 

[Sin_Tiger]

  nearer 3.5 here 

[Madruss]

Brrrr

[Sin_Tiger]

How's the rebuild going Dude 

[Madruss]

Unfortunately, at a full stop currently.
Had a muscular issue with my back. Been off work for a couple of weeks & have re discovered acupuncture, which has put me back on the road to recovery.
Reassembly was going well. After stripping all the fairing etc off to fit the crash bars, I was starting fit it all back together. Other household projects became a priority (the Mrs project's) so it was all packed away in the tiny shed.
When I was ready to start again the back issues arose, so there was no way I could move the Calpyso tiger out of the way for access to the black tiger.
So that where it stands at the moment.
Why I went quiet on the forum.  Thanks for asking.

[Sin_Tiger]

Ask the Mrs. to move it for you    seems to work when the boot's on the other foot 

  No I'm not brave enough for that either     

Hope you recover well, keep it moving but gently

Sorry to hear of your 'other projects' and the misfortune of your back issues. I understand how life can sometimes get in the way (see Daysie Daytona's diary).

Hope things improve for you soon & you can get back to what matters
