Still need a few bits yet mainly throttle/speedo cables, battery, new powervalves (going to be very expensive!! ) think that's it. Tax, MOT & insurance all for under 120 quid Nice!

brill, but at least you know it is going to be in good mechanical order after rebuilding it. so shud be bill free for ages when all done.

Another update! Resprayed & rebuilt the calipers with new seals & bleed nipples.




Even painted the disc centres (was bored  )



Wheels painted, front tyre fitted. Fitted to the bike, I now have a rolling chassis.






I've decided to put the standard RG rear wheel back on for the moment as I need a cush drive/sprocket carrier for the GS wheel, it'll just be for the MOT.

Thanks mate I'm glad someone does lol!
Quick mock up just to show what it'll look like. Just waiting for the piston kit, small end bearing & full gasket set to arrive from PJME then I'll fit the barrel & head & exhaust so I can start making the belly pan. :up:

Some parts arrived today from PJME! :up: After paypal ----ed the original order up I had to resubmit a new one on friday & all of these goodies were waiting for me when I got home. Top peeps at PJME. :up: Will hopefully get everything fitted by the weekend.

[fullpint]

Are those the last parts required to finish of your re-build Ben???

[Username taken]

No, I still need a throttle cable, speedo cable, tank rubbers & battery tray mounts, powervalves (inc retainers & springs), battery & a sidelight bulb. I'm hoping to have the engine back together completely this weekend so I can fit the exhaust so I can start taking measurements for the belly pan (I've yet to make ).
