    Hi, I just need some help to identify missing parts on the lower ignition for a speed twin which was involved in a RTA which I purchased.

    This plastic part on the cable is broken which I assume sat under the key barrel but I can’t find the part on the diagrams. I’m not sure where the immobiliser sits and if this is missing from in here as well. Maybe it’s the bracket and immobilisers I need but I don’t have experience or pics online to verify and all the clocks are missing. Any help would be appreciated?

    See attached pic

    Can't help with your parts question, but I'm interested in what happened to the bike before you bought it?

    Not sure exactly but looks like it ran up the end of another vehicle. Tyres weren’t even scrubbed in. Front end damage only and insurance write off. Brought it on eBay as a project.

    Good luck getting it back together. Once done you will have a great bike :):)

    The white bit that’s circled would fit upside down under what’s left of the ignition barrel, the other bit that’s circled. It has the contacts that are made when the key is turned, lighting up the dash, priming the fuel pump etc. It’s obviously been smashed in the impact along with the instruments and you are going to need new parts to get the bike running. Seen many an ignition barrel like that in the 90’s, it was the favoured method of stealing cars*, pop a rear quarter light, break the plastics from round the steering column then scaff pole the barrel allowing a screwdriver to do what the key did previously.
    *Disclaimer* I did not steal cars in the 90’s, I was one of the “good guys”;)
    Good luck with the project.

    I've just taken some photos of my front end with the steering lock on. Bit of a jumble in there but you might be able to work out some of it.
    Here's a couple from the left...

    And a couple from the right and below...

    Most of the wires feed into the back of the headlight. Not had a look in there.

    Fantastic, thanks for these pics. They have helped a lot.

    Inside the headlight is a plastic housing which all these wires are arranged neatly with various connections.
