You'll be glad to know that this is probably my last post on this thread!
Coolant leak was simple, some idiot hadn't tightened up one of the hoses properly
Test ridden it around 6 miles, bloody hell this is the comfiest bike I've ever ridden :-) It runs well as well, so it look like I've got away without stripping the carbs.
Found the reason it hasn't been doing many miles - the speedo isn't working! Next most urgent fix.
Still got a slight coolant leak, the hoses are not in brilliant condition, so may use that as an excuse to order some samco's now I know everything major works. Job for next week though to stop the leak.
Also need to refit the belly pan!
Very very happy now :-)
Total out lay is around £1200, don't know the going rate, but I'm happy enough :-)
Woohoo it runs! by
