for my mk1 I replaced the flasher unit with an led compatible one. Same cost as other methods but fewer connections,
I did that too to start with, and I tried load resistors but nothing worked until I did the diode mod. Dunno why.

Blimey!!

I think i swapped the indicator repeater dash bulbs for led's too, maybe that's how mine worked. Hmmmmm, maybe that was a different bike i had last year (also had led indicators)......
900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

Heres one for the electric gurus:
Can I convert my tdm850 analogue rev counter to digital? What do I need to do?
Yes you can, but you can't really use the existing rev counter, you'd need to either add an electric one, or rip the internals of your existing one out and replace with the electric one. Not as hard as it sounds as I think the mechanical one will have a lot more room due to the mechanism and the electronic one should fit in easy. If you're lucky you could get one that fit's nicely behind the existing dial and fit the needle so it all still looks stock.
In terms of wiring etc:

Something like this can be used to take a signal straight off the HT lead which can make things easier if you're not one for electrickery:

Says to come off the distributor but it's the same principle off the ignition wires etc. If someone has actually done it they might be able to help with an actual rev counter that fits or can be made to.
Edit - found these which work with a wire straight off the leads so a bit more 'plug and play':

Apparently the signal can be a bit hit and miss though depending on how you locate it, since the HT side of things is a pretty noisy signal.

You've probably reached your limit.

Yep the frame around the swing arm joint has been found to crack on a few mk1's, solution was to weld it up, think i would plate it as opposed to just a weld.
Painting, some info on Studleys bloggerydooda and a ton on the web, if your removing spray me thinks.. you could probably brush paint the cylinders, would spray the rest though.
Only electrical mod i remember is a gear change light in the speedo, on here someplace if you search about.
Be interesting to see as it comes along Tom, post up piccies wont ya

I painted the head, cylinders and casings but left the covers as they were in good condition. I had the engine in bits at the time and I sanded the parts before painting. Took me a while to get them prepped mind and I lost half my fingernails in the process. iirc I used Simoniz Engine Enamel.
