Valentinik:
Other things have stopped progress for a while but i found a set of forks on eBay complete with triple trees. They're in very good condition, the trees will need powdercoating and i'l replace the oil and seals but they're fantastic for £52 posted.

Valentinik:
No progress for a while apart from collecting a few smaller parts, but I'm just about to order some bits to complete the engine rebuild.
Apart from a full gasket set, primary chain and primary dampers and cam chain, is there any other parts i should look at replacing?
I recall i've seen somewhere an alternative part for the primary chain and maybe the cam chain swell that may be cheaper than DS, could someone point me in the direction of where to find one if i wasn't imagining it?

Trigger:
Oil seal kit springs to mind. Piston rings and so on.
Cam chains from DID are not expensive, around the £25 mark ;)
Valentinik:
Thanks Trigger.
No progress pictures but i got the frame stripped down completely and took it to to be blasted and powder coated as well as the swingarm and yoke. They're quite busy at the moment so it may be a couple of weeks before its done.
On the way back i stopped into the local Main dealer and got the primary rubbers and a few circlips that needed replacing as well as some new shock bushes and oil seals. DS didnt have all of the parts in stock, so i have't got all of the bits to rebuild the engine at the moment.

Valentinik:
The larger bits came back from the powder coaters today. Im really pleased with the finish, its 99% perfect and only cost £96 all in.
I found a prime position to start the build:
The wife didnt have the same opinion on where the build should continue so it was relegated to the garage. (it made it longer than i expected)
