Sprocket:
So, update time.
Stand pin removal succeeded after sawing two slots longitudinally inside. Small strip removed, proper walloped it a bit then crushed the sticky out end in a vice.

Pic because great victory.

So I assembled all the bits I want to be blasted and powder coated black. Put some bolts in the threads, added threaded bar with large washers through the head tube to protect the bearing and also the swingarm, as the bushes look pretty good.

So with that lot currently in the van, I'll be turning my attention to the contents of the sump...

Which looks to be a "stopper comp, PV" 24660-377-000. And a bit of follower, perhaps?
Nurse Julie:
I just love seeing what goodies are in sumps. When Trig strips customers engines, I get all excited playing a game to see what bits I can identify before Trig finds where the bits came from 😀😀😀
SumpMagnet:
Wow....that''s some chunky sump debris!
I will be playing that game over hte next few days. and I can't wait.
Got to ask, though, are ALL the stand pivots that nasty to remove? I suppose the wear points on the pivot being internal make for fun. I am used to simple pivots with a bolt through....so I have never had to do this. That and spending more time and effort putting stands BACK on bikes that came with them missing after dodgy 4-1 fitments saw them removed in the 80's.
Sprocket:
I have experience on this one, and a particularly stubborn C70 from the same era. Both were victims of extreme swearing.
Interestingly, I took the footrest rubbers off and one of them was completely stuck due to corrosion of the peg beneath. Had to squeeze it out with the vice in the end!
