Well, between decorating chores at home, I've managed to (almost) finish my lovely SB45. Got the clutch assembly on, hooked up the new motor, started her up and adjusted the clutch to test out the new cork clutch lining. All good! Put on the decals, new rubber catcher rests, all chains - except for the main drive chain which I got the wrong link for. Bah! I'll pick that up this week sometime and finish off. Also had a crack at hooking up the remote throttle to the new motor but pulled out the cable from the lever, so I'll need to research that a bit. Also - finally, and by far the worst part of this project for me, was getting that damn height adjustment circlip in. For me I needed to add a couple of washers where the spindle goes through the chassis (to bolt onto the front roller) so that the spindle lined up perfectly, then the only way I could get the clip in was a second pair of hands whilst I held up the spring and washer. I found I couldn't do it one side at a time as the washer would jam. So I am sorry to say I had to get the missus to help. I know, its not easy to admit.
Anyway, apart from those last few things, here she is and I am stoked.
