I built a CB750 engine for someone that had the bike from new. He stores his pipes by removing them, putting bungs in and fills them with diesel. Sprays them in WD40 before covering them in clingfilm. He was saying that the first time he did this he had forgot to bung up the drain hole in the bottom ;D.
If you drain your tank you may get flash rust on the inside. I have always told to keep the tank full. I do have a couple of kawasaki nos tanks in storage which i them filled with diesel.

The Dutch carb guru will deliver in 2-3 working days. His goods are top quality and not pull your pants down price.

Yes, i did answer on the post.
I got a 19,000 mile one a couple of weeks ago. It was pissing fuel but, after a good clean, some o'rings from the Dutch guy (Not CMS) and set the floats it run like a dream ( NOT a super dream) ;)

I was getting 55-60mpg on a CB550F2. It was over the time of running in a rebuilt engine. The carbs had been totally rebuilt but, all this running in was done at no more 5.000 rpm.

Drew, when you assemble your shells don't forget to use Graphogen. This will help with the running in of the engine.
Forgot to add: if you need this then send me your address and I will post you some. It doesn't come in small tubes and is not cheap in the 125g tube.

Vac bags if not used right will do more damage than good. They will seal any moisture in. All the bikes at storeacar that are in these bags are connected to machines that suck any moist air out and is kept a controlled temperature. As James will tell you, too dry and the foam and rubber gets damaged. Too moist and you get rust.

Oddjob, i have two of those torque bars still in the boxes somewhere. As family have bought them as birthday and Christmas presents for me.
If you see any of those self spaying and lacquering buckets about, give me a shout ;)

I would have to spend a week in the bath to get that clean ;)
What is it with hooking the cam chain up? Let it drop and pick it back up with a magnet.
