Well done Peter...it's good to see the bikes that some said would never last being rebuilt with some care and attention.The picture reminds me of the box of bits that a friend dumped on me when I said that rebuilding a 750 is easy...it is,but the fee for doing the job was two crates of beer, thinking that I would get two crates of 24 tinnies each. Instead I got two crates of four bottles...of Heineken...about

If you go to the US site and look up dynoman he sells overbore piston kits for the F2 plus valves and guides(along with a different stem diameter set) to fit at less than Honda prices. Cam, followers and bearings, unless badly scored, I would use again.

Rebuilding is relatively easy, but more than 8 cans of gassified rubbish worth!! BIG importance is cleanliness of all mating surfaces, super clean oil passages and NO gasket goo in the oil passage areas

I was lucky my F2 was bought as a project to stop me getting bored when we shifted to working 4 on 4 off, it had sat out in a back garden with no plugs in for a couple of years. So I stripped and rebuild it, new pistons, rings, valves etc, but never got the chance to install and run it as I went overseas for work. So most of the new bits are already in there. I've just stripped the top end again to check it out, and already found a couple of things that I got wrong all that time ago

Cheers
