Don't forget to slap on a little anti seize compound on the stainless bolts with nuts and ones going into Ali bloke , makes life so much easyer years later when you need to pull something down to not have it corroded together.

That's impressive Bryn. So nice isn't it to screw together brand new nuts and bolts to freshly painted bits and pieces
thats awesome .....i need an RD for nothin lol
Gonna have a roller with tank if you want it Jimmi. Come get it and it's yours. (GT380 that is).
Had a little shed time. Thought polishing casings might be a good move so made a start.
Began with this:

Bit of a blast and wheel work, ended up like this:

Shit is getting serious now. Split the cases to find a bit of a mess.
Tranny looks fine,

But there is a bit of crank damage. Pretty sure rust is not meant to be there.

Wire wheel that bitch ;)
Bamm, good as new
Had some more time in the shed. After getting hold of another crank, (cheaper than rebuilding one, thanks Simon), I managed to throw a motor together.
Replaced pistons, rings, bearings etc into cleaned & honed pots.

Ran new cci tubes with new filters from crank to barrels.

Had to fit up some covers, just see how they looked. Donk has been in kit form for so long I needed inspiration.

Carbies next on the list. Might need your help with ultra sonic cleaning Simon. I got rebuild kits and bellows from eBay so shouldn't be long before this baby goes back into the frame !
New ignition ordered too !
No problems mate, you know where I live. It's looking good Bryn and I'm keen to see how you progress with this.
New ignition arrived today along with the timing gear. Time to get busy in the shed again !

Comin on real nice mate! Cant wait to see this bad boy finished!
Been a little while and there has been much progress. Had a few days of clean a bit, paint a bit, polish a bit, replace a bit and got to here.

That's looking particularly nice mate. I got a bit of a flashback there and thought I was 11 years old again. Cool
looking good
Wow Bryn, that's coming up like new mate. Nice work.
Coming along nicely mate
I'm surprised a dude that spends so much time in a hospital can get more shit done on his bike than me :P
That's enough for tonight. Beer o'clock !
