White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

Thank you boys, glad to know we all share similar experiences.

So here we are, on the home straight so with no further ado it's full throttle to the finish line:

Side panels fitted, I did a quick check to see that both were set at the same height under the fuel tank and also both level. They were, thankfully, but to achieve symmetry the right panel had to be spring down slightly to get the screw in place, a reminder that these White House panels are very much hand made which does go some way to explain the cost.

Talking about White House, they also made the brackets at the rear of the grab handles as part of the K10 seat conversion. I played with the spacers a little to achieve a better fit to the seat, large between alloy grabs and mounts, small between bracket and frame.

OK, so now to show that not everything goes right first time. The speedo needle alignment was clearly not right as the gauge indicated 70mph whilst stationary. The answer was to strip it down (which meant removing the headlight for a 4th time!), plug in and power up from the key. In the end I discovered that you could adjust it by rotating to the mechanical stop (at ~ 6 o'clock position) and gently using the pointer to go further, then test it again. I did to a video but can't post it here, however after roughly 10 attempts the final adjustment gave me 0mph when on. Tip here is that you have to gently bend the pointer up over the dial stop to rotate clockwise and increase the static speed.

Fiddly bits over, time to fit the re-polished Wyvern 4-into-4. Lovely.
