Thank you all for the comments, yeah the original screen had been painted green and melted a bit so still looking for a bargin bucket replacement. The mirors are also on the bargin bucket want list, going to be getting some that are fairing mounted. Also on a note fitted a charge monitor that flashes red if not charging enough or to much but will light green if charging correctly. When I had to get my yokes I got 600n yokes not knowing they were slightly different but the clock mounting points were the correct diameter for the light

Still got to get brakes on front bled properly then paint up master cylinder and paint up clutch lever bracket. New screen (to me anyway) and mirrors to find and fit then a few wee odds and ends to tidy up and once I have insurance money sorted I will stick it in for a mot

Amazing what can be done by a pile of old junk & a Divi 6. Hope you have as much fun riding it as you didn't have fixing it Trouble is it now may be on the list of bikes to nick by some scrote who don't realise what it is so look after it as in general a divi 6 can be left unchained with the keys in & still be there when you get back Neil PS how about some proper before & after pictures.

Yea but that's Telford they aint normal there probably because they are too close to the border we are pushing them out & the welsh are pushing back Neil

Nice job Mick but you could have let the paint dry before you took it out, it appears to have run all over the road Ps, you still need to summats with those footrest hangers.

So after a couple months and much debating with my self I have decided to remove the fairing and go all naked. Not much to show as only ordered a few bits yesterday and last week, but as I already have a 600n loom and yokes on the bike then at an advantage. Got myself a 600n headlight bracket which arrived today so shot blasted it and a fresh coat of paint. On order / on way is a set of gold renthal style bars, cheapo chinese koso rip off digital tacho/rev counter, magnet head replacement disk bolt for speedo, some various diameter cable tidy/covers and my father inlaw is giving me a twin round headlight. Desperate to get cracking on I made a mount for the hall sensor for the digital speedometer. once the bits start arriving I will update

Gotta do one end at a time ha ha will eventually do something with the tail but for now its function over form as need the box on for work. Don't know if I should put a short tail on by cutting down the original tail or swap on a modern tail section. Plenty time to think on it as I will try get it done over the winter months but for now gotta keep chipping away at getting the front end sorted. Gotta finish the clock mounts (still waiting on the clocks) which I started today only got a brace to finish tomorrow. then a plate to shield electrics a bit and figure something out to cover frame where the coils are. toying with making fly screen thats why the clocks bracket is so long tho think im going to abandon this and it will be shortened right down.
