    So, as of right now and much to the dismay of my female flatmate, there is a GL145 motor on my coffee table in need of assembling.

    The plot thickens..

    In a few hours of fiddling over the last few days I've managed to figure out 99% of the mechanical details. Only internal bits that I can see that need attention are new mains bearings, pressing the crank back together and warming the cam chain drive gear back on.

    Courtesy of kb member "ezirider" I now know how the cam chain tensioner works. Simple stuff really. He's also hooking me up with a wiring diagram. Should have a (potentially) running motor by the end of the week..

    I have a rough plan for mounting the motor, will dummy up some mounts using sheet steel, then once I'm happy, cut them out of some ally plate.

    After that it's all in the details. Getting the little seemingly simple things to work, that's where the bulk of my time will go I know it.

    Think alot about vibrations with your mounting.

    From what I've seen the mounts on most of these 150s are pretty minuscule, I'm certain the spada chassis will be able to handle the mighty GL.

    He means the thin long adaptor plates many have used seem to mysteriously break every 2nd meeting. Or at least that's when they notice the engine making a break for freedom. Plywood makes easy to cut templates.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Ohhh, oh no mine won't be thin at all. I'll probably start with 20mm ally and work back from there.. Last thing I want is to pick my motor after fred flinstoning the bike around for a lap..

    Yes plywood would be easier to make dummys out of huh, I think we have some dirty ol packing sheets around at work somewhere..

    Sooo KB has come up Aces again for me.

    I have managed to secure a complete gl145 (with engine trouble) for very little money. This gives me the few electrical bits and pieces I need to have the motor running asap. No McGyver antics for this bucket..
