Same as the first, trying to reassemble several boxes of parts into something resembling a motorcycle.

I was going to rebuild the top end of my 550 but I was going to get the barrels and head blasted.

Expect the blasters will be shut now.

Yeah, much the same for me,  given we will go 100% online again I  will compress the week for an extra clear day.

The BIL is sending his 81 Kawasaki Z400j up to me. Plan is to strip it down, give a good clean, fit the calipers and brake lines, clean the carbs (again!) and get it running.
I had planned to finish the Triton but can't get any machining work done now.

As I'm almost retired (work PT from home until next May when I'll 66 when I'm completely packing in work for good) so lockdown makes no difference to me! Just carrying on with 500K2 build as normal

I'm awaiting delivery of a set of front & rear wheel hubs I've bought on e-bay  for the 400/4.

I wonder if a trip to Central Wheel Components could be classed as an essential journey assuming of course that they are open for business next week.
