Yes noticed you had just got the R, my favourite from the 748/916 range, but i do like the grey 748s . I think you will enjoy owning/riding it
When you start on your neutral switch, presuming it's not faulty, as it's very awkward to remove you don't want to be taking it out too often, first undo it by half a turn at a time to see if it needs a thicker washer, if that doesn't work its probably a thinner one that's needed. The difference in washer is very small. Steve
I did have a look a few months ago, all i did was loosen it about half a turn and the light went out and just retightened it, i found when riding it the light wasn't on all the time as it usually was but still comes on, i am thinking of getting a new switch but will take the old one out first and have a look.
Ive seen your bolts and they are spot on, its something that i thought about but and should do, i have a platters about 5 mins from were i live so no excuse, i used them when i rebuilt this a couple of years ago. Photo op
It was not far from me Canvey island next to the Thames i got it of the first owner and he is now the fifth owner he saw it for sale on eBay after it had changed hands a few times, I see it now and again A bit of KH green on this red forum Not many photos left on there now as i used photo bucket,
you're a bit of a dark horse Paul - and there was you asking me for advice the other day! - that's a stunning restoration mate.
