Just waiting on the rear brake reservoir. Everything else tightened up. Frame rails protected. Engine next.
-
Brakes bits finally arrived and so did a screen or two. Wiring back on the frame and waiting for the coils to arrive
Apparently the screens are ABS, and seem very sturdy. Don't know about scratch resistance yet. Time will tell.

• Circled E4 = Approved in The Netherlands for use by all countries adhering to UNECE standards which includes E48 New Zealand.
• 11960 = ??
So all good for application.
As an aside I used one of those cheapo ebay LED lights on my CRF (who's headlight was completely naff) and the light those things chuck out is amazing

For whatever reason E4 appears to be compliant in NZ and possibly Australia, which is where the headlight was supplied from.

A further bit of research and it seems the E = meets ECE approvals process and the Country code is for the country that granted the approval. As the ECE regulations are a standard, if one country certifies a particular light, it is deemed compliant in all other counties that use the ECE codes. Apparently the other numbers on the lens refer to the particular ECE standards that govern LH vs RH configurations, illumination patterns and all that jazz.

The old headlamp is flat-dip, for the world market. Swings and roundabouts, but on a decent headlamp design it works well.
Unfortunately, many of them weren't very good.

The headlight doesn't have a fitting for the park light, but the LED indicators that I have for this bike have running lights, so I'll wire these to the park light out put.
I've just gone through this with my 1000 dirt bike. even in UK trying to get a correct E11 headlight for a bike is a mission.
Here, this might help...

Carrying on with small things when I get time. Just modified the rear indicator brackets to carry some LED units. Discovered that the cushion spacers for the electrical component mounting plate had gone awol, so made some up out of panel steel. Currently refitting the wiring loom which I've rewrapped in cloth tape. I'll snap some pics of the progress on the roller tomorrow.

Caliper piston kit and headlight arrived (finally). Fitted
The headlight doesn't have a fitting for the park light, but the LED indicators that I have for this bike have running lights, so I'll wire these to the park light out put.
The plan going forward is assemble the rear mudguard/tail light assembly (which I've painted). And refit the wiring loom. Unfortunately the coils look a bit poo, with some unsightly cracks.
