Side covers

 I always liked to mix up different bikes elements, today I've found a couple of Triumph Thruxton's side cover





Needs some minor adjustments, but fits just fine.

Wiring mess: The brain


 
Finally a bit more tidy. The electrical madness is nearly over.


Everything checked, even the rev counter light.


Next step (the last one) is to reorder those wires swinging under the seat.

Signs of new life

The bike is far to be complete, but the temptation was much too large to resist...




The new engine started quite easily and sounds pretty loud!

One problem almost solved

The new Nissin brake lever looked a way too modern and didn't match the clutch


 So I tried to figure out a solution.
First I've found a donor broken lever,


 dismantled and machined a bit.


Re-shape the vintage one


 then mix them together.




It needs more work but looks and feels fine

Almost ready to take everything apart on this one too. Hopefully.  If I don't come up with some last minute overcomplicated stupid idea ...
