Avoiding wiring meant I had quite a productive day, first I made up some clips to hold on the front mudguard. The original plastic abominations that came with the forks were not recoverable so I made some out of 1 mm stainless steel. Originally I intended to simply pass a set screw through the 2 x 6 mm holes and put a nut inside.
After about an hour trying to locate the top most nuts I decided to drill all the inner holes in the clips out to 8.5 mm and fit rivnuts which aided assembly enormously. I had to trim about 4 mm off the front mudguard to clear the front fork gaiter. Picture below before the final trim of the guard as it just kisses the gaiter.



The chain oiler reservoir got fitted with quite a bit of buggering about getting the bolt length just right.
Finally I checked the alignment of the rear disc and this is the result.


It is about 1 mm out so tomorrow I will strip it down again and fit a 1 mm washer between the caliper and the brake plate and that will be as good as it needs to be.
