I klnow that statement well.  I was hoping to mock up the frame before leaving next w/e for trip to karajini, Exmouth and Shark bay for a fortnight.  The idea being that the motor could be ready when i get back from trip.  Now everything put back 3 weeks.  I'm hoping to take it out for the manjimup 1500 (June 6).  Still hopeful but not confident!!lol

I'm back from meditation in the bush, well took the wife for a holiday.   Still searching for a top clamp, have got the 1980 model clamp with the angled handlebar support but would prefer the sort i have broken.  Got a rod kit today from the states that actually fits(thanks Steve at SunriseKTM), so things might still happen.  Oh the frustation and yeah davey, bloody wrong colour, that's what comes from living in WA, lol!!!
