Eventually my Xmas present is finally on Suzy. No YC didn't paint it matt black. The spacers were a lttle short for some reason, as the steering lock didn't work with them as was, so just a couple of washers were put in, as the yoke is slightly thicker round the lock than the original, and bish bash bosh ta-da!
electric fault seems to be rectified. The main earth hs been mounted on the coil mounting..or something

and I don't have disco lights when I indicate anymore.lol.....they don't flash in sequence with the headlight!
