nice one

it is as I have been twice to Darley Moor. Usually for the last season racing as the stars are there.

just image an new member stumbling over this thread via google....

try and get viton valve seals if you can. they last ages and well worth the money

nice find/buy mate. when's it going to end?

just watched that on the you tube telly

honing keeps the oil in the bores for longer, thus it increases reliability. it also "cuts" the rings into the bore increasing compression as georgen says

would have been a great day out too

no that was Lotherton nr Leeds

I tried motorbike maintenance on them and got an old crashed suzuki custom thing donated they basically wrecked it, didn 't know how to turn a spanner. Kids today eh!

can i see pocked holes on the bores or is that a dirty lens? I can't see any honing meself, best way is to measure and check gaps

no access now and against POR it was, tbh its holding, but I'll change it over just checked the parts book and there's no return spring listed bit wierd

did anyone go last year? thought not, its not the same watching bikes from a distance on a big open field.

well I started it tonight, I took pictures but your not seeing them yet whilst tightening up the alloy top yolk about 5 mins later i heard a crack, the alloy had cracked. I didn't over tighten so I can only assume it had fatigued. Luckily I have the steel top yolk that came with the forks so I'll use that. looking for the bloody return spring for the rear brake lever now, I had it, I did,! but where the feck is it? should finish the main build tomorrow evening and I'll have to push it back home then as the hut is in use for air rifle practise. (we have a competition this weekend)

may have taken out the side stand switch/wiring too

nice one

its great vapour blasting. Its very time consuming hence the price. At least the cases are done as barrels can be easily sorted via the dishwasher

that wasn't good! make sure all the oil ways are clear then Tommy I would clean the mesh oil strainer too.

seems silly not to and the benefits will outway the hassle

then a scuffle breaks out, all because you didn't sort under the bike

those seat cowls fetch ££$$ worth the foggy drive

been working all day on the peripheral paintwork today. I used the scout hut which has a really powerful heater set to 20'c = bloody hot anyway all done and I'm going to build the bike in the hut I think, as its not being used till Wednesday.

that didn't last long

what if you had shiny shoes and you were checking them out near the bike. Now you can see under the bike then what?

your supposed to add to it sniff, emoticon conga...
