Here you go a few more recent pics

Got it back from painters and in the meantime made myself a bike lift to put al back together on had the alli plate in the garage from some floor work in the house 12 years ago ( hoarder ) so that came in handy too .
Got a rack to keep new bits on

Started. Assembly of a few bits

This is the most recent still a lot to do

Motor is away at dai Paynes .. On small wheels getting a little cc increase .
Cheers Steve

Have made a mistake in putting wrong cable to motor !!! Front brake instead of clutch

Not the best pic but casing back from polishing

Polishing looks good was it expensive ?

Hi
Compared to the cost of getting it chromed I recon it was a good deal ,all in £250 , a fella in Birmingham . I'm not worried about a little elbow grease to keep it tidy . Will post another pic once its all back together .
Cheers Steve

Have you picked up on the quirky bits that make a 62 slightly different from the later Li's ?

Hi
I've had a few things I've scratched my head with on the refit ,and being over 18 years since the strip down ,nowt left upstairs to prompt me .
Can you give me a few tips on what else I'm likely to come across ? Still waiting on the motor to get the back end up off its prop
Cheers Steve

It's only a few things and most won't matter too much

The forks have a wire loop cable holder as on the series 2

The frame loop arch where the bridge piece goes is a simple arch as per series 2 - the later ones have an extra bit cut out where the choke goes

The bridge piece is different ( I think )

The engine will have the series 2 type 'cush drive' sprocket and 4 pole electrics and flywheel

And they would have had the early single seats where the front in different to the back ( no wedge packer)

Almost everyone thinks Li's are all the same

Did you add the battery tray ?

Hi Paul
Got the wire loop on the forks ,
The rest I'd not noticed .
Battery tray was on it when I got it , welding looks factory ?
Was that not an option in 62 ?
Was thinking of putting the twin seats back on but opted for a standard seat .
Cheers for the info
