Yes, and I've been advised to remove the rotation arrows in case I get an awkward mot man!Did you fit the front (back) tyre backwards eg against the direction of rotation as marked ?
Is that a Halfords 100 piece socket set?View attachment 49450

so here we have pictures of the fabricated battery tray, just need to complete the top bar.
Started to align the rear axle but need some M27 shims before fixing the pivot points and the welding the near side axle fixing point.
Made new brackets to hold the clocks.
New chunky front tyre, it’s a back tyre really but helps keep the trike stable - well as stable as it can be with an idiot riding it!
Now I’m waiting for parts and working on the plastic work.
the older 147 piece advanced - not your cheap stuff.Is that a Halfords 100 piece socket set?
Good man. Can't remember how many bits there are in my Advanced set but it is the original. Had it for well over £20 years and got it on offer for £50. Over the years the number of components has stayed pretty much the same but the number of big manly useful bits has gone down and things like Allan keys have gone up in number.I rebuilt and centered one of the hub

I don't have the originals so got an aftermarket one....... still it does 'look' good.The horn on the K1100 is very good.
It's twin horns, really a good blast.
Got enough timber there to knock up a body out of it....View attachment 49526 View attachment 49527 View attachment 49528
so this is where I’m up to.
Now looking for better shocks. I think these must have been knock-offs as they are so soft.
Going to be working on the plastic this weekend and some electrics.
Is that a bag of golf clubs under the cover??View attachment 49819 View attachment 49819 View attachment 49820 View attachment 49821
So despite the injury I have made some progress.
New shocks in place and rear brakes all working. Very pleased with the handbrake which was not a simple job.
I’m now working on the new wiring for the rear.
After lots of effort and cursing I have realised why the front brake is soft, not air in the system. Original front brakes were 2 Pot, replacements are 4 Pot. 13mm master cylinder cannot move enough fluid.
It seems my best option is to source a K1100 master cylinder and controls. This has a 20mm cylinder and the switches from the K100 fit. I might have to change the throttle cable and brake switch connection - thoughts.
