Since the last instalment, I have managed to clean up all of the parts, replace the camshafts and followers, fit the new rectifier, regulator and solenoid and clean years of "white fur" from the alloy. I also had a new black vinyl cover fitted to the replacement seat (Not quite so garish as the original pink item). But then winter kicked in and I lost the incentive to work in a sub-zero garage. Then today, I was looking through some old documents and photographs and came across this original 1991 brochure for the old KLE, with a photograph of my own bike taken on Cold Fell about 5 years ago... I suddenly felt a pang of guilt and a need to get the old gal running again. There's a tank to respray, some plastics to clean up and there's still that front brake to get working again.
