FH dry build - one step forward...

 I spent a lot of time reshaping the FERC so that it would fit around the swinging arm, and I'm pleased with it now.

Trouble is, I didn't realise that to get the front section on, the rear has to be off:


And, as if to rub it in, you can't get the rear off with the shock absorber in position... 


So, its all got to come apart again but that's what dry builds are for. It's helped by the removal of the rear end of the mudguard, which looks good. I'm pleased with the work I put in to that. 



When it's back together I can trial fit the inner primary chain case. 


The front section of the FERC has a captive nut to attach to the inner primary case. 


A small job coming up - remove the broken case screw:


While I was poking around the rear end (and wearing working clothes) I used a crayon to make a mark on the swinging arm, with the mudguard, centre stand and oil filter in place. This was where the swinging arm grease nipple would go.
