Here we go - no idea what it is but mine has what looks like a loop-back wire on it to bridge the two wires. Can't find them in the diagram either - may be some part of the security? Plug-in for an immobiliser/alarm?

Thanks for that. I've no idea why i would unplug that. Can you unplug it and see if the bike runs ok please?

Will do!

Great to follow. It would be interesting to know what the final cost is.
Looks pretty cool so far.
No samco hoses?

What have you enjoyed most so far?

I have one of those connectors on my 998(9)R. No cover. Will check to see the colour of the wires.

I'm keeping a log of my spend which depending on how nasty it is i will let everyone know lol.

No hoses. They don't add any performance and are hidden under a fairing so the standard ones will do me fine. So far its hard to say what was the most enjoyable part was. Stripping it down was good but i have to say getting the rolling chassis together was a high. The last few days has seen some cool stuff going on

I got some nice new levers. Bargin on ebay from Hong Kong - I paid less than this though

Does anyone know where the thread is about fitting 999 master cylinders. Someone kindly posted the part numbers needed for the remote reservoirs that i will need. I've searched but can't find it.

I've also started getting my gorgeous Translogic dash fitted. Wiring will be fun.



I also got some nice rubber mounts. Also from the bay



Here it is fitted. I'm retaining the old warning lights. Mostly to fill the hole below the dash.

Its been a while since my last update. Brakes are now fitted and have fluid in them. My datatool system 3 has packed in. When i put my mates alarm PCB in i was able to turn her over on the button. I'm searching for a new alarm PCB as thats pretty much all thats keeping me off the road. I've now got a full set of body work too. I'll post pics soon.

Looking good Chris, look forward to the updated pics.

Here you go - did it myself using this and it's very easy!
