Ok finished it all, a couple of points of interest perhaps.
The oil strainer was remarkably clean as a whistle with no bits in it, early tooling me thinks.
Got stuck on front sprocket 32mm didnt have size and when I finally borrowed one with a breaker I couldnt budge it. Local bike workshop obliged using air hammer wrench gun, came off with ease - more and more me thinks to get air and some tools.
Rear 43t sprocket on, changed rubber dampers whilst I was at it, looked liked it needed a change, was scored and looked pretty worn. greased up spacers and bearings.
Overhauled clutch master cylinder with new inners (kit) and replaced the gear sensor with new one, old kept as spare, cleaned out slave cylinder, bled easy, clutch feels great. I left the oem lines didnt bother replacing with the braided one I had.
Horns bloody good like a single air horn without compressor.
Manometer next, tho I guess I really ought to do valve clearance first, but unsure whether am capable enough to do that. will read up a bit first.
