Projects ALWAYS go that way Deano - when you strip them, you don't want to take the chance and the price of the the refurb goes up - happened with all the rebuilds I've done. Good thing is that the bike won't depreciate when you've spent all that cash!

Good thing is that the bike won't depreciate when you've spent all that cash!Never a truer word said Phil. I had a tot up of what the cost of my CB400/4 engine rebuild would have been if I had been a retail customer, dropping the engine off with Trig and saying 'Mend it and make it look nice'. Luckily, I wasn't a retail customer and I did as much work as I could for myself but taking into account all the strip, assessment, prepping of cases etc, machine work and parts and labour, I wouldn't have got much change out of £1600, and Trigs prices are very competitive. But, hopefully the 'do it right, do it once' philosophy will pay off in the end.And that's just the engine Julie - imagine if you are out sourcing all the rest!
