Thanks for the replys
There is still lots to do,electrics being the main one and i'm waiting for my end cans as i damaged one when the bike fell over in the garage
I still haven't had it running so it will need setting up with the KR carbs ,Ramairs and running premix
At the moment i can't seem to bleed the rear brake,it has far too much pedal movement even though i have passed the whole bottle of brake fluid through
and can't see anymore bubbles

looks so right - love it
might be worth getting a syringe to try bleeding the brakes - plenty
on e-bay (i might have a spare one - i'll have a look) - should save fluid
going all over the paint

I rebuilt the caliper with new genuine seals and got a mastercylinder repair kit for the rear YPVS mastercylinder.
I will try taking the pads out,cheers mate
