Well done, congratulations.  Always a good feeling to do a quality job yourself.

Cheers  2002,   


So after all that time and a billion bits scattered around the garage you didn't cock up anything?   Well done!   :2vrolijk_21: :drink:


Always feels good the first time you hear one fire up after it's been apart.

Gotta  say I have to agree Don it firing up straight  away was a great sound and a relief I fully expected to have pissed around to find out what I'd done wrong  doing it for the first time and getting all the bits back together  was a challenge.

Took the month from start to finish . Once the research was done and parts all gathered took 4 days to reassemble it.

To be honest I'm bloody glad it's over 😃

Should be free riding from now on. Motors been done with new Total Seal rings,  rocker lockers in, S&S lifters in, full complement cam bearings in, new fork slider with Motul SAE 15w medium heavy fork oil in, new brake pads, oh yes and replaced front and rear wheel bearings.

Plus the inner primary case bearing clutch hub and a new Hayden M6 primary chain tensioner put in but that was back in April.

Again thanks guys  :2vrolijk_21:

So glad to read you've got it all sorted.  That piston ring ordeal was enough to send a man to the pub.  Now you can enjoy the riding season.  So, pleased you got a garage :huepfenlol2: ?

Crap, that's warm.  I'd take it though.  Went riding yesterday afternoon and it was 35-36.  And no f'ing sea breeze  :huepfenlol2: !


I'm just glad you're riding  :2vrolijk_21: .
