In addition to this, the air box was replaced for a new one, this meant stripping off the back-end again but it was worth it, being a plastic part, the photo's don't show how scratched it is, the new one is mint and unblemished, I think it was worth it.

I also found some NOS switch gear (left and right) so I'll fit them when I've sorted the handlebars, either re-chrome or replace not sure yet.

Progress has been slow but..

....I've not been completely useless, my little Mazda has needed some financial "love" so NNR has been on the backburner for a while, that said the front forks have been rebuilt and back on the bike as has a new headlamp ....
