Looks plenty of room above the headlight or as Tango has suggested adapt a clip on plate on the lower fork plastics

Well done, now it's time to enjoy all your efforts Enjoy!

I had a Caberg J1 flip front and had no issues, only reason for change is I wanted a boxer

Do you have replacement screws? If so drill heads off then when switch gear is apart the studs should come away with mile grips etc

Owner put the key to his other bike in the ignition, tried to pick the remains out and trashed the barrel. The red key is still available so I wonder if things may not be so bad

Blimey mate, best of luck with everything

Been offered a bike with a knackered ignition, I'm expecting to find a new ignition and seat release at a bike breakers or eBay but how much hassle is it getting a new ignition matched to the ecu etc? Would something like that be a main dealer job?

Glad you're up and running again

Not too much petrol !!!

Another good few hours tonight. Thanks to all the popped in. Room still has issues with lag and booting people out but this can be resolved. Same time next week

You need to get plug out to test spark and compression

Is it actually sparking?

I would of thought that the side stand switch would disable the starter all together? If the socket set has plug sockets then go ahead, normal sockets won't be deep enough

Have you had plug out to see if there is a spark?

I use duck oil or paraffin

some say special

I shall be there

Today I attempted to install the kit for my iPhone. Firstly connected the electrics and routed the wires along the frame and under the tank. Next stage was to fit the mount. As soon as I opened the pack I knew I had issues, doing the mock fit proved it http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/pcritcher/19A0EA16-1757-4418-88E2-FC5E9B741920_zpsrmuq4wd2.jpg As you can see the ball hits the bar. I didnt even consider this when I ordered the kit as there are various types of mounts. Anyway, I had to resolve the issue and I had a rummage in my bits box and found a spacer that would allow the mount to be raised enough to work. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/pcritcher/844238EC-C3AA-4E0A-9692-D53E80554E06_zpsugmr7k3a.jpg Opened it up a couple of mm to take the 8mm bolt from this http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/pcritcher/3451F569-BA67-42C1-B982-00F1F5FAD45A_zpsoct3ik7b.jpg to this http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/pcritcher/6A04B08D-157D-4E8F-9644-82D949B40863_zpsgg4jdw2j.jpg This gives me just enough clearance to attach the quick release mount http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/pcritcher/3A21D21D-29D5-4205-BBCC-DA9EF93B560E_zpsjafsnr7x.jpg All fitted http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/pcritcher/A51D54B7-C6F2-4E50-9003-2A25881ACAEB_zpstpiapsjy.jpg Next step is to get out and try it

Congrats on the maiden voyage

Sam, It may help if you put your location in your profile. Someone nearby may be able to help you out. Personally, I'd guestimate at M6 x 10
