Re: how far do i have to go
i thought they where either yellow or red. is it the hub or the blade that needs to be black???
so other than the engine steady bar being upside down and the ht leads, is everything as it would have been when it left the factory???

Re: how far do i have to go
The dynamo AND the starter should be green. And - it's not the right shade of green anyway.............The battery would be rubber topped with individual cell caps (and your terminals are dangerously close to the clamp bar - best turn the battery round!) - and the blue electrical connectors down near the dizzy will never do..........

Re: how far do i have to go
Front dampers also need a clean up especially the bolt retainers.
