thanks martin, 1st Job in morning...
if you spot anything else, Please let me know, i wont be offended as you know its the 1st bike ive built

p.s - thanks for tip about bottom engine Bolt and spacer

looking good

apart from your KIPS links : they are setup wrong, check the manual

I set them up jan, I would say they are correct, inwhat way are they wrong.

in the photo they are in the open position

they will be correct when cables go on and the middle is at an angle as oppose to straight acroosss

Thanks guys, I've been looking at all sorts all night to clarify, knew martin would have done right.

make sure you remove a linkage bolt on left barrel just incase very tight, don't want to be snapping valves

Left being left as sat on bike?

yeah, i always keep to left and right as sat on me bike i'm a poet and didn't even know it

no they won't

if you look at this picture :



you can see that the hole for the cable on the left link is on the wrong side (left) of the valve. you can not even attach the cable like this, let alone they will not open/close correctly.

i am now cold as i had to go back in the snow to push the kips valve with my little pinky to the left to show that they look right



hope this helps clear it up
