(The large chunk of oak got turned in to a thing to install stearing head bearings & the blow torch re-energised the sealing washers for the front brake banjo hose thing - which had to be dimantled in order to remove yokes (yawn) & I couldn't buy replacements for...)

1) Low point: Brake fluid and cut thumbs do not mix well.

2) High point: The test ride after.....



Next stop Air/fuel issues - In the very short stretch of tarmac I had it seems it no longer redlines higher gears now airbox fitted - guessing it's lack of air - although as the airbox currently only has 1/2 the number if screws it needs I think I prob need to fix this before venturing further....

Oh and the fuel pump cut off thing still needs investigation.
