I'll see how it goes but I'll bear it in mind Adrian, thanks. Don't worry, it's unlikely to get dumped, not yet anyway. After all this work it won't be worth selling so it's probably a keeper, and it is very pleasant when it works. Bighead bullets are underrated and very pleasant bikes but the stuff I've found is amazing, here's a few examples: mismatched handlebar leavers, wrong toolbox, wrong speedo, wrong ammeter, left fork seized in casquette (described as fully restored), right fork mudguard lug JB welded on and snapped off in my hand, ancient cracked tyres (described as fully restored), wrong right fork slider, wrong light switch/horn, wrong horn, dead battery, homemade exhaust rocker cover (yes homemade!), worn out monoblock off a BSA A10 and jetted as such, float bowl full of gunge and not opened for 50 years, no gasket between carb and head, no washers with the nuts holding the carb on, wrong front engine plates, original worn out rear brake shoes, wrong mudguards, no washers underneath any nuts anywhere (yes really), worn out and rusty 350 clutch with the wrong plates in and the bearings all over the clutch casing floor, no circlip in the clutch, snapped and badly rewelded clutch casing stud, rotar on just finger tight, no thrust washers with the timing pinions, re used chewed up screws for the timing chest and gearbox, gearbox with no oil or grease in it, fading magneto and a/a unit with rounded off bolt. I haven't been in the engine yet but dread to think how it's been thrown together. It's my own fault for buying on impulse off eBay, but on a positive note, when it's done it will be lovely and be the bike I thought I'd bought in the first place. The fact it's one of only 750 made has kept me going
