Latest update from the KZ650 owner, he's spotted you do a collection/delivery service so wants you to collect it from his flat 
It's nothing new, one of our mob built a chopper in his 6th floor flat and four of us got it down in the lift by removing the forks and making 2 trips

Elon Musk couldn't afford the rates I'd want for lugging the gear into a flat to work on a bike.Latest update from the KZ650 owner, he's spotted you do a collection/delivery service so wants you to collect it from his flat

Is that the 3ta?

Id say an early one as its needs the reinforced tank as theres no top tube in the frame, if I had to guess 63 /64…could be a 5TA though.

A detail bit with a couple of points to note on the rear light which needed to stay.
The bodge was obvious, so new wires spliced on, heat shrink to protect the connections, then braid to protect the wires with heat shrink at each end to keep it neat and a heat shrink over the joint to give some strain relief at that point. Followed by another heat shrink where it comes through the panel to prevent chafe damage, followed by a grommet for the same.

I sold one last year frame was also 59 registered in 63.
Do you make your own new looms so you know the quality of them & have a little spare cable at the terminations or buy them in

For most things yes, but for old British stuff no. The off the shelf looms (UK made Lucas) for them are a step up in quality compared to the originals and widely available so it doesn't make sense from the point of cost to the customer. They're also pretty much bang on in terms of length and layout, so the only stuff I have to make will be the bits after the main loom and/or for things which have been added.
