Trigger on this forum is top man for rebuilds and repairs. Not cheap, because he won't skimp on parts, but excellent quality work. What does it need, they are fairly straightforward to work on in reality?

Compared to most engine builders I’ve encountered, Graham and Julie’s pricing/performance ratio is by far the best value I’ve come across. Great attention to detail, thorough, honest, and decent people. You won’t find better value anywhere (and no, Graham didn’t pay me 99p to write this)..

Not forgetting they can arrange a courier service that I found very reasonable when Trigger did my rebore.

I think people are misinterpreting my comment about Trigger not being cheap. He si top of his field, and does not compromise by using sub standard or cheap parts, taking the cheap route always works out dearer long term, as parts failing can cause extensive damage, or even wreck an engine beyond repair, and Trigger has an impeccable reputation which he intends to keep. He is far from the most expensive, but is the best!
Most of you will probably have heard of John Wyatt, he used to build engines for all-sorts and magazines etc, but in my opinion ruined his reputation by hurrying a CBX motor rebuild for Classic motorcycle mechanics magazine, and didn't clean all the blasting media out of the cases, that motor lasted less than 100 miles
Not a mistake Trigger would make, he won't be hurried, it will be perfect.

Just to add my twopennyworth about Bike (Engine) Builders Rates....I was visiting a local Triumph bloke today - Thunderbird Spares in Inskip (near Preston) and I posted his published Workshop Rates just so members on here could compare. He is not taking on any more Engine work until 2022 as he has a full order book - which kind of supports his Rates !

Incidentally a friend of mine recently bought a 67 Bonneville for about £10K from a well known dealer but realised that 'all was not well' after a few miles so he took it to Thunderbird Spares for it to be sorted out........I think the phrase used was - 'the fella who built the Engine last time didn't do a particularly good job of it' !

My Son In Law owns a Garage in Manchester which specialises in German Cars, and he gets a lot of work when these cars are out of Warranty as he charges £85 per hour compared to £150 per hour at the Main Dealers......all his guys are factory Trained and he uses Genuine Parts....which also keeps any cars which are still under Warranty protected.

His Technicians don't wear Armani Suits to work and they don't have £100K Company Cars parked outside ! LOL.
