Sump and coolant T-pieces arrived OK during the patrol. Only thing missing was the clutch cable, which I still have to chase up. With the purchase of three metres of 25mm water hose and some careful routing, the major cooling plumbing is complete with only the smaller bore pipe work to be finished. Final plumbing of this will need to wait until the bulkhead is fixed into place.
New sump is installed along with the windage tray. Decided not to purchase sump gaskets from Kawasaki and made my own from a sheet of gasket material. Took a little time but they are accurately cut and look fine. They will be finally proven once the oil is actually in though.
Something that I have noticed since my return from patrol is that now I can fit in the skinny seats I bought. Time will tell if this is a long-term arrangement though.
