Julie, I always knew nurses were under valued and under paid, now I'm in no doubt!

What an absolulutely brilliant job you have done and with such detailed posts accompanying,  making such a complex job so clear for others and giving us the confidence to take on our challenges.

Thanks Tim. All you need to do now is follow my pictures and your engine will be done before you know it  ;D ;D ;D

Simples  :-\
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

For your next project, how about a BMW K75?
Never, ever ridden a BMW bike Mike, let alone studied the engine closely.

£50, bog off, it's going to cost me more than that for a manicure and nail polish  :D :D :D

You could try beating him down to 99p per motor, Trig would be so proud of you, got to be worth a try, as he's used to losing money hand over fist, he buys shitalian bikes!

Best thread ever! Well done Julie and congrats to both of you.

Is your exhaust original? I know you said you have a Brituro silencer - what about the downpipes?

Super job.

Thanks Tom. Original double skinned downpipes and you are correct, Brituro silencer.

I tell you what seems I'm used to losing money on Italian I may as well lose on the Jap stuff too.
How about build me one good engine and you can have all what's left of the second one.
Can't be fairer then that.  ;)

It will be worth a fortune in 30 years time. You will only be 6 years off of retirement by then as well, it will give you something to tinker with  ;D ;D ;D

You never know 30 years time I might be on Shed & Buried  and you might spot it under a pile of crap.
It will give me plenty of time to make up a ridicules back story for it.  ;D
