Got my R1 running!!!
Fired it up for the 1st time the other night (bit too bloody loud with the MK silencer I reckon).
Thanks to Colin (Colibriman) for helpin out over the phone regarding wiring.
Just need to get a throttle cable sorted (any advice would be helpful) and then I can give it its first drive!

Well done that man 
It must be a great feeling. I chickened out and bought mine finished, but I still have the urge to build one myself, hopefully within the next few
years.

Well done mate, find out what you blew in the end? Having engine trouble with mine now! Fitted the proper dizzy and set the static timing, tried to
fire it up but couldnt get a spark! and i thought points ignition was simple!!
At least i have all next week to work on it, might have to pop up if yours is ready for the road!

Cheers guys, was an awesome feeling even though the first time it fired I had slightly over fueled and almost took a mates legs out with a 2 foot
flame!!
Chris, it was just a simple fuse (thought I'd checked them all but never mind - thats what you get for connecting 2 live feeds together!).
Gutted bout your engine, just get a lumination ignition system - plug in and play! I'm gonna try and get back later this week to sort some more
out on it so if you're around then pop over

Throttle cable - buy a Superlight Universal Throttle Cable kit from Venhill, chop it to length, solder on your nipple  and away you go - job's
a good 'un! 
Spin 'er off Well...

What sort of nipple goes on the throttle end and how does it fix onto the throttle lever?
Cheers,
Oli

You get several solder-on nipples with each kit. You can then choose which one will suit your needs!
The inner cable comes with a nipple already attached at one end, but I can't remember if you need to replace that one or not with another out of
the kit. It's a few months since I made mine and I have a memory of a goldfish.....
Whatever, there is usually a nipple in there for all occurrences!
Spin 'er off Well...
