I put quite a bit more thought than usual into cable routing. the throttle cable goes 'the wrong way' but has no tight bends. The clutch cable is a flat coil, multistranded one from chiselpseed and there is only one cable tie on the whole route of any cable. This has paid off, the clutch is really light but doesn't slip and the gear shift is effortless. I'm really pleased with it.

One of those new-fangled rear brake cables. Expensive but good.

I had the choice of 2 back plates for the front, but was happy with niether. One has the thin strengthener and the other is notched where the peg locates; I'd taken this one of another bike because it knocked, so it wouuld be pretty stupid to fit to a new bike. Why do we hang on to crap?

The lights and horn didn't work; I wonder why?

I love this bike, but unfortunately it died on the way home. See "small block home tune" for the reason.
