Main Bearings - anyone out there got some for me?
Drew400:
Thanks Trigger, PM'd.
Lynx... hmmm the $64,000 question! With a following wind and assuming I can put the bits back together in the order they're supposed to go, it'll be done this year. Just in time for, er, winter probably! I'm not rushing, but I am enjoying the work and will post some updates and pictures.
Having read another thread recently, I fall into the 'clean it up and getting looking right, but not original at all costs' brigade. But don't tell the bank manager that as, from the expenditure trail, he thinks I'm restoring a factory raced MV Agusta!
Lynx:
I'm just getting bits together to rebuild my spare engine. I stripped it down 18 months ago. I hope I can remember how it goes together. Should keep me out of trouble for a while anyway.
Drew400:
Good luck with yours Lynx.
Latest photo of mine attached (replacement mudguard still has plastic wrapping on it... just in case it's not obvious!).
Cheers, D.

In the latest Classic Bike mag's Honda 400/4 resto they found the crank mains to be slightly scored and gave it to a crankshaft guy (Modus Engineering) to grind/polish out the marks. Never heard of that before, I thought they were toast if scored. Their resto is in conjunction with DSS and they confirmed in the article that 'black' main shell's are NLA from Honda.
Cheers ... AshD
Drew400:
Yes indeed. I showed that article to the chap who now has my bottom end and new (rare) bearings. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of his 'alchemy' and to start my rebuilding proper. That said, I've just been reading a long thread on this site that adds to the worry of my not being an expert at this stuff! Hey oh, plough on...
