Rickman build
royhall:
Got my F2 valves and guides from CycleX in the states. They are Kibblewhite items and good quality. Price was good but got stung to death on the import duty, but your wasting your time trying to get them here. They come up sometimes on eBay but its just the odd ones. I believe you can get Ape items from the states as well but I didn't look too far into that. Nice build by the way. Cheers. Roy.

Yes I was told by the engine guys that they have tried UK and Europe but no luck at present.
States seems the best option, I'll let the engine guys get the parts at least I'm assured they will fit.
Engine cases are vapour blasted only in the pictures still deciding what to / how to paint cases
Some parts may go this week for polishing
captaink:
Any suggestions on painted cases or just leave as is ?
Brit bikes are left without paint
Opinions appreciated
JamesH:
Trigger's your man for that one....I believe the consensus is paint because a) it replicates the factory finish and b) helps prevent corrosion of the bare alloy cases.

Who did your vapour blasting and what state was the alloy in when you gave them the parts. Can you share any typical prices with us?
