Valentinik:
Thanks, I double checked the roller bearings were located over the pins as at first it didn't sit in position, but they sit down correctly now. By setrings, do you mean the half moon bearing fitted in the bearing groove at one end of either shaft?
Thanks for the pointer on the oil seals, i had presumed they would have been fitted after the cases were joined so it has saved me making the mistake.

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.
