dandgb Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Progress on the 'originaltwistgrip's non-runner..... Well, On saturday a breaker near me supplied me with a complete wiring loom, Complete Instrument cluster with Ignition lock and key, headlamp, tail lamp, Left and right switch gear and twistgrip, left and right Pet cocks complete with filters,front L/H brake caliper and a few sundry items, all in good condition. £170 well spent! Yesterday, I turned my back on the wife whilst sorting all the bits I needed to replace or clean up and when I turned back she had taken vast areas of the frame back to bare metal The original intention was just to remove the surface rust and then treat with a Rustconverter/primer. Looks now as if I'll have to strip it all down and do a complete frame respray - not what I needed So what's the minimum I can take off the engine to remove it from the frame without disturbing too much of the timing etc.? Oh and I's only a little-un so will it break my back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted June 28, 2010 Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'd say, carbs, exhaust, prop shaft lines/cables etc lie the bike on the side (everythng else is taken off) and lift the frame off the bike! why not send it for pwder coating. triple-s in bingley is not too far and don't charge much. they blast it and cover all the threads. here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
