Thanks - hurray - it's the right one! (but thanks Steve)

The Haynes manual only shows the other side of the bike.

Further to the original thread -

- I now have the engine built upto the barrel. I keep having to stop and wait for the odd part to arrive, which is quite frustrating, but it's getting there slowly.
- SEP were brill, and cleaned my crankcases up for me as well.
- Trophydave - I've been getting bits from The Bike Depot in Worksop instead recently - is this any closer to where you live? (They get their Yamaha parts from Fowlers in Bristol I think, and most things take about a week to arrive)

I am in Bingham,not a million miles away from Worksop.I would rather use a 'proper' bike shop than one of these corporate franchise dealer places.Saying that I have a mate with a small breakers,I ought to try him first really.
Confession time.I stripped the XT350 after Wetton to investigate the lack of go.All I have done since is give the barrel a light hone to try and clean it up a bit and that is it.I am using the VFR at present but I am slowly negotiating the purchase of a Transalp from a friend.

Hello

I'm pretty sure I have all the right bits for the front brake now, but I haven't got as far as fitting it (only just put the forks in) so time will tell. It's all slowed down a bit recently - I need to pick up the pace again!

I have my bike mot'ed at the bike depot.
They are what I call a, proper bike shop. Usually lets my bike through no problem or fixes on the spot. ie no back reflector so he stuck one on for a £1. He is also good with loud exhausts, as long as you are discrete.
They are about 5 miles from where I live and have existed for quite a few years.
