Bibio's carb tail kit fitted
 
Finally got around to fitting the carb tails. Swine of a job getting at that front vacuum take-off! Made easier by using a smear of vaseline to ease it on (ooerr missus!) and a small cable tie to ensure it stays put. Nice little kit.

Couple of other jobs while I was at it - cleaned and re-oiled the air filter.

And refilled the Scottoiler

That rear subframe will be coming off this winter for a repaint!

Jobs for tomorrow morning will be to check the carb balance and then give the bike a long overdue clean!

Good stuff!

Mine ain't that tidily routed. You can also replace the vac hose and use the tee and strap them there

excellent. looks a good place to put the p clips.

keep an eye on the the ends if you lubed it to get it on as it could pop off.

It was only the front vacuum take off that got the smear of vaseline Lance, and I put a small cable tie around it to ensure that it stays put.

Balanced the carbs this morning and it was a nice easy job with the new tails in place.

You're very welcome - credit where it's due I say!

Now then, was there some talk about curvy wheel adjuster plates this winter? :notworthy: :lol:
