Crm bits stripped off
easyest bit done , CR front mudguard fitted
original tank mounts (at least ) will need removing to allow CR tank to fit
subframe will require a little fabrication to fit ,but it will give the slightly taller seat position i hoped for
mount to fabricate for ECU and reg / rectifier due to CR having open topped airbox
At least i can see where im going now (up to the garage when time allows) lol

Well done
. How are you going to fix the tank
.
You are also going to need to find a space for the rear brake fluid reservior.

the subframe cut & rewelded , luckily the throttle side leg bolts straight up when the carb rubber is on so only one leg needs altering and the top mount

rear brake reservoir fits to the original mount ,but there is the small matter of the brake light switch mount ?(thanks for reminding me Knack ) Tank mounts are going to be fabricated off the top engine mount i think , as i dont think the tank shroud mounts onto the rad will be sufficiant . Where did you get the pressure switch for the brakes ?

The conversion is finished but the bike is not
I am going to replace the used panels with new ones to tidy the bike up
