Virginal rebuild project (a.k.a 'pain in the arse')

[Kram]

Whosthedaddy, I have a spare front sprocket cover + clutch mechanism (needs a damn good clean though) somewhere in my garage, if ya want to come to some arrangement.

And also make sure that the front sprocket nut is done up tight (and locked) as I took my cover off once, to replace C+S, and there was no nut holding the front sprocket on.

Could be busy polishing something.....

[carlspann]

if your that concerned about the snapped bit,just makes sure that you put everything on tight,you can always use some liquid metal(epoxy)or even just dremel it smooth so it looks a bit trick rather than a breakage.

Finally got a swing arm delivered with the wheel adjusters still in But is just as drity as mine when it was taken off it not worse , the bike may start going back together again soon, but, not got a day off till next weekend It needs painting black in the mean time so not too bad

Need to buy yet another large can of WD40 as used 4 or 5 so far to help clean the engine It is working though and coming up a treat, will be able to reach more when back in the frame,
with the damn headers in the way still its a little hard

Not sure if the bike will make the MOT mid November as need a few other little things here and there so no test rides before

Praffin makes a good degreaser. Probably cheaper than endless cans of wd...

The swing arm is now painted and the looking very nice indeed even if I say so myself Cant attach it to the frame yet as I have all the odds and sods in my mums garage including the spindle and shock mounts

With a little help from the wife, the engine was repositioned and the frame reattached With a couple of layers of new paint, the frame holes were a little snug so in the words of Arkwright I just needed to 'j-j-j-jiggle it a bit' and the bolts slipped in a treat. Only managed to scratch the paint a little when the frame bounced on the engine almost knocking it over to the wifes supprise.

Its nice to finally get the frame out of the bedroom and the engine off the patio.

Just need some garage floor cleaner now as it is stained beyond belief.

*cough* TFR *uncough*

[quacker_boy]

Looking pretty good WTD i'm counting how many times it's coming together and being taken apart though

Fancy polishing up your headers? Chrome polish and wire wool and elbow grease will sort you out a treat.

Ah, thankyou wise master

Managed to rub down through the dirt and rust only in patches as still attached to the bike and I have nt got the smallest hands in the world.

Wire wool does make a world of difference to the metal parts.

Looking good.

May I ask why only one engine casing is shinier(sp?) then the rest? (the starter clutch casing)

You got the '89 same as me, didn't they change to a single headlight after the 89?
