haha No such thing as a "nice easy five minute job" now is there?
started off replacing the old worn out battery with a nice new one, quick job no1,
checked out all lights and electrics, No rear light or neutral, not a problem as i will be fitting the new number plate holder and lamp, so will be
playing around with the rear wiring anyway.
removed rear end and tail piece, found problem No1, crack in the base of the tail unit! will require some alloy angle brackets making and riveting in place.
problem No2 = ground wire from rear light has snapped and one of the live wires on a LED strip has parted.
started sorting the tail piece, removed broken bits and fitted some brackets.

I will drill the brackets and re fit the tail piece upper.
job two was a bit of soldering and replacement of a LED, sorted.
job 3 the fitting of the new plate hanger was also not a problem, went on sweet, and then spliced in plate light,

will sort neutral light later.
job 3, start her up after winter sleep, started first attempt
almost ready for spring wakeup!
