Looks really good,  I like the stage of building up when everything is all clean and ready to assemble.

having watched the entire peter anderson youtube vids on his 750 rebuild, i followed his lead and loosely assembled everything, connected a cordless and spun the gears to see if all the gears work. very satisfying to watch the cogs change gear!

 If you are useing a jointing compound between the crankcase faces, will this not alter the bearing clearance ?

its a very thin coating so shouldnt be an issue. it's what honda used during assembly.

although technically, a hondabond moment is when you meet a fellow honda enthusiast and get on really well...

i think i may have discovered why this engine has only covered 6000 odd miles.  while reassembling the clutch cover, it didnt sit right and there were some odd gouge marks on the inside face. on checking my parts diagram, i noticed that a part was missing - the clutch lifter cam plate. a round disc thing with a pin sticking out of it. i had a look on DS and there are two different prices. £14 on the 'search by model' and £50 on the 'search by part number'.  i shall ring them tomorrow unless someone has a spare.

not done much to it for a while as i've discovered being a teenager again, riding my firestorm stupidly everywhere!  i've become one of those blokes i used to 'tut, tut' at as they shot past me. i must be on my third mid-life....
