Hi mate from South Australia - welcome to the family - pictures would be great when your ready.

I've just finished a total rebuild of my 1984 R65 - complete with a Siebenrock 860 conversion.

Now the weather here in South Oz is improving it's time to ride once again.
.
I hope you have fun mate  :D ;)

Yes
For me the easiest way is to have the picture saved to your PC. click on the browse box and navigate to your pic and double click. It will set that pic to display.

For additional pics, there us an attachment drop down arrow on the left of the screen. Click the arrow and it will add boxes for more pics.

There used to be a "preview" option to see a post b4 it went live. If you previewed the post you would lose all the attachment info and have to repeat the attachments. glad thats gone, it was confusing for new posters regarding pics.

Welcome aboard Simon. You’ve done a great job there.

What tank is that? (and how did you make it fit the R65’s electricals/coils etc!).

This forum is limited on space and capability, it's actually best to host images and videos elsewhere (google photos, whatever apple service exists, photobucket, etc) and link them into your posts.  With a little BBcode you can have the images displayed in your posts, as well.
'04 R1150 RT ~41000 miles
'86 R65 / '84 motor ~72000 miles. SS lines, Spiegler rotor, Progressive monoshock, Keihan silencers, a piece of Pichler fairing.
'76 CB400F ~26000 miles. non-runner!

Nice!

So what’s going on in that wiring tray? I can see that it’s a Moto gadget device, but it seems to have numerous conductors going into each slot. Or is it just a fused pos/neg terminal strip?

Well done with the photo collage btw. I’m using an iPad and I use an app called “Image Size”, if that’s any help.
