So what you're saying is you have oil up past the rings, causing it to hydraulic and lock up?

Did oil spurt out of the plug hole when you cranked it?

I wouldn't touch a stolen bike that looks like that with a 100 ft barge pole. They'd be riding that to within an inch of its life every time they got on it. They couldn't give a monkeys about the bike, it isn't there's.

I'm from a rubbish area where bike theft is prominent. Often see the hoodies all masked up riding them across fields with groups of up to 15 sharing the bikes around. Unless you're willing to do a complete rebuild from ground up with a full engine rebuild or replacement lump, I'd just scrap a stolen bike and learn a lesson with bike security. A bike alarm is only £20, two wires into the battery and you'll hear if anyone touches your bike.

Well I wasn't going to do this but screw it. I may be the biggest idiot in the world but something has changed.

I sold this project to someone I knew for £300 telling them if I could of got it running then I was going to do a big tour on it. Right then so this bike was sold about 2 months ago. Get a phone call the other night that the guy has fixed it.

Turned out to be a fuel pump issue and a wire that had been sliced. Anyway long story short I got it back on Friday night.

Right then as you can see here I've changed the mudguard over with a new second hand one that came with the bike when I got it back. If you look closely you can also see a bungee strap going across the seat. Using this as a guide I've marked up how big I want my seat to be. My decision is to have at least two different types of seats. One that will be this seat cut down the other is a spring saddle seat. I've got a friend at work that is willing to fabricate a metal plate for the seat to sit on.

Right then so after doing that I decided to have a look at fitting the clocks that came with it. I'm missing a load of bolts so got to find the right size don't fancy cutting some down to size. To be honest with the clocks it doesn't look that bad in my opinion.

Now I've got a list of things to sort out and one of them is why I created the thread in workshop regarding connectors. Here is the wiring below of the old indicators. Now I'm going have to chop these as I've ordered generic indicators from ebay with bullets on for now.

Also got a problem with the throttle cable hopefully someone more resourceful than myself can help here. As you can see from this image below it's missing an attachment that goes at the end. This helps the throttle spring back. Now the throttle cable is good so I don't want to really just replace it (wasted expense) does anyone know if you can get a repair kit for them.

I am being helpful.

The picture of the throttle cable linkage looks the same as mine, what part exactly is missing?

If you want to run a shorty mudguard that's fine, but you'll need to think carefully about how to protect the rad/fan and intake. A bit of mesh won't stop salty crap flying through and a solid cover will restrict the airflow.

A bit of mesh over the intake with an oem filter (don't waste money on a 'sports' replacement, they're shite) will be fine, but the rad is a different matter. The oem fans are well known to seize up just for shits and giggles so a better replacement should be high on the priority list and religiously hose out the rad after every damp winter ride otherwise it'll just get eaten away.

As for the seat idea - a sprung saddle? Really? It just won't sit right on the frame or suit the riding position. They fit on a waspish hardtail with a skinny frame, but certainly not on a k frame.

The thing is, I can go through all this with you again, for the fifth time but you always know best. Just like when you posited your single seat idea before and got all shitty when I categorically demostrated that it wouldn't work.

I also remember telling you 3 times to check the fuel pump wiring - which you insisted you had done but wouldn't provide details of - which, surprise surprise, turned out to be the issue all along.

You mildly irked me so this is real-life karma. I spent hours trying to help you with this thing when everyone else was telling you to scrap it. I offered you a set of bodywork for it for free which you turned down because it was the wrong colour and then bought the same bits in the same colour.

I'm not even going to tell you to just connect the replacement indicators whatever way round you feel like because they aren't polarity sensitive unless they're LED, and if they are LED that 2 seconds with a meter will tell you the polarity - you'll just ignore that and ask 17 other people, who will tell you the same thing and you'll ignore them too and wire them to the exhaust then bitch it was our fault they don't work.

I'll be properly shocked if you get this thing back on the road, and even more shocked if it doesn't look like a shitty lashup.

The missing part will be the adjuster barrel. It looks like a bolt with a hole through it and it goes outside the housing which is why I couldn't see it was missing... The rubber boot just goes over that to protect it.

I didn't say a single seat wouldn't function, but tbh both the ones pictured look crap. Like I said when you on about it before, your plan for how to do it wouldn't work. As for a sprung saddle - I guarantee it'll be gash - they're passable when the tank and frame follow the same hourglass shaped lines, but it's a k, it's brick shaped - it'll look like a k with a pushbike saddle strapped on.

Why not try a horsey saddle? at least it'll fit the shape closer.
