- Start date
Which means I can put the tank on and offer up the seat, and see how the Mosko Moto bags will fit.
I think maybe a slightly higher seat - maybe an inch.
Then next week’s problem is fitting the instruments.

We got Christmas out of the way, so it’s time to restart work on this one.
After messing around with Touratech road book holders and ICO rally’s computers I’ve decided:
a) I’m never going to ride this bike in a road book rallye
b) building a full instrument tower will have to be so high it’ll rip my bollox off if I go over the front
c) the main nav unit (a Samsung tab Active) will have to go on the bars.
Once that’s all decided, making the dash is a much simpler affair.
So start with cutting out some templates
Then in stiffer card

Then onto even stiffer card to get the layout offered up.
Next to get sizes for the oil pressure and volt gauges, and work out how many switches I need. We’ll also stick the ignition switch in there.
But first, time to walk the dog.

Waiting for the gauges to arrive for the dashboard, so ran a few quick checks - compression left and right are ok I guess, bearing in mind it’s cold, never been run, tappers only set up approximately.

Oil pressure relief will start to “blow off” at 80 psi.
It’s holding pressure well
Ignore compression till some oil gets chucked about

Cheers Mike - compression was really just to check there was some. Main thing was the oil pressure which I’m happy with

Spot on that man, thanks. I’ve gone for the Durite pressure and voltage gauges, and Acewell combined speed & rev counter.
Any progress? Love the retro looks of the Durite guages - although I'm pretty sure you've already got a volmeter incorporated into that multi-function Acewell unit (a 6456?)
He's probably bought a 701 and sent it off to be Rallye'd
I wish
He’s banged up at home with COVID, had a hard 6 months at work and multiple jobs needed done on the house.
But hopefully get cracking on it again in th3 next few days, got to get it ready and shaken down for the North of Spain Rally.

Cheers! It’s on the last knockings now so hopefully by the weekend we’ll be getting back to normal.
