Default S-N pointy conversion about finished (video + picture)

After several nightmares my Sk7 naked conversion is ridable...

still need to bleed the brakes more... had no air bubbles coming out , but still not as good as they used to be.

Still need to tidy up a few bits of wiring , particularly heated grips and odd bit of blue 'leccy tape.

the thread on my riser clamps might be a bit dodgy (probably need re-tapped soon) But the bike is ridable for the first time in months..






Here is a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=qHYg1p1zTUM

you can see in the video that i added 5mm superbright green LED's (£1 off ebay , pre wired) into the L + R walls of the dash housing so i could keep 6 idiot lights.

oh well, after a long bus journey home , turns out its not all that finished ....

3 of the four handlebar mounting bolts are stripped(female side) I found this out when i went over a speedbump and my bars rotated forwards 90degrees...

could have been much worse, and i'm blessed to be so lucky.

waiting to have the bike collected and the threads re-tapped...

If the bar's rotated 90 degrees forward, it's ALMOST at the point where the levers will be a helluva lot more usable when you adjust them right to match.

Not without putting blocks underneath to beef it up at least.
