    had an eventful day, I decided to get the new pistons and rings in, she has new pistons, rings, small ends, base gasket, head gasket, new gudgeon pins and circlips. I started reassembling the bike when I realised that I didn't listen to my advice, I found that 2 dowels left over, lucky I hadn't started torqueing it up, anyway both pistons are now in with new gaskets, just need to work on the power valves and the top end rebuild is complete.

    I'm still getting over the uncanny way you came across this bike in the first place, you've got an almost psychic talent
    looking forward to the finished bike

Alas the shopping list keep growing, but I am not rushing, I want it done right.

    • Trans oil
    • Castrol TTS
    • Sprocket clip
