    Added these cable ends to (carb) tops as I thought the standard look sort of gave the game away. Probably no one else would notice or care... but it cost very little and in my eyes improves the deception.

    Welcome to the family. You know I was trying to do that to my Bonnie but could not get anything to fit. Now you have given me hope.
    Regards & Ride Safe.

    Bertrums Bike Bits on ebay £2.23. Had a T140 back in the day, very unreliable and vibrated to bits!
