    The exhaust should seal on the gasket, so broken flange will not be a worry.

    That seems a reasonable price.

    Its so annoying phil, I have got so far with the project, now the frame & engine assembly are just sitting in my shed awaiting further input, but I have a mountain of parts that need a re-furb but the shot blaster is all clogged up because its so damp, so the shed is a total mess, parts literally everywhere, all frozen outside, I want to spray paint many parts, but its not good practice in these temps. so frustrating.

    Hear what your saying, alas we can't control the weather. This big chill that is causing havoc in the northern hemisphere will eventually pass and you be able to get back to "1" of your favourite pass times. Patience is a virtue my friend. :D

    Well, back on track (ish) I was able to get into the shed last weekend, I gunked the engine, so its relatively oil free now, just need to separate the motor from the frame, then its sand and paint the frame then re-assemble the whole bike.

    I had a digital failure!....my phone died, and it wiped all the 'step-by-step' photos I had taken when I removed bike parts. So I have no record of where stuff goes, i'm pretty good at remembering, so hopefully it will all come back to me.

    I have (last month) passed my big bike test here in the UK, and have been working on my Honda CBR 600 F3 1996 (in the house lol) I have been out on it, and what a rocket!....

    Good to hear your back at it.
    Three dimentional jigsaw puzzles are good for the brain power.
