Good work so far gents.
No not running yet. Need to strip and clean the carbs and either get a helicoil or thread insert fitted in the front cylinder OR change the cylinder OR fit a spare engine we might be getting.

It'll probably be a while yet. I just couldn't resist working on it yesterday. It was a breeze taking it apart!

Taking it apart is easy, putting it back together it can be tricky! Ha ha
I found organisation is key, don't lose anything. I'll be keeping tabs on this as I could be joining the track bike gang when my bank balance gets better

Those nancy boys only have one, and they're bolting rubbish onto it.

We've heavily lightened one of ours - the same will occur to the other one soon .

Dave slowly started kissing my pantyhose as I undone the last bolt for the headlight. "Stop it Dave!" I yelled, his excited paws now all over the front subframe...
