Hey Speedy, heard good things about Waggotts. Will be using them for all mine.

Bit more progress :

Rebuilt & refitted the heads, installed the new cams & refitted the motor into the frame

I welded some M8 bushes onto the underside of the swingarm before i blasted & painted it so i can use my rear paddock stand & made a piece to fit into the bottom yoke which i can use my jack/stand under to support it whilst i fit the motor, as recommended on here I’ve removed the clutch & getting it back in was way easier than getting it out :

Looking good, what paint did you use on the engine cases and heads,

I used a 2 pack paint called Selemix 50% gloss on the engine and heads, I’ve used it previously on restorations and its brilliant, resists fuel and even brake fluid, fortunately its now available in a 2k aerosol :

Looks great.
Did you remove Alternator as well?
I removed a engine out of my crashed spare bike and removed clutch as well,still a mission.
I wonder how the factory did it?

Thanks Peter, no I left the alternator in

Thanks for the info fabnorman, ill have a look for that on the next one :+1:t2:
