they are the same temper all the way thru far as i know..you gotta keep them cool when doing the laps to avoid removing the temper..thats why surface grinders have that coolant system..

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
We do have a proper surface grinder here at work that has the coolant mechanism.
I will see today if I can get the shim.
thanks all for the speedy replies.Comment

If youre gonna grind them yourself..or have someone at the shop do it..tell them to only take 1/2 a thousanth at a time and check it after each pass so you can be very very precise as to how much you are removing.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

HI ALL,
thanks for the advice and help, It runs and pretty quiet at that!
all the spares i needed arrived on saturday so I have been reassembling since then and last night filled the carbs up and it fired up straight away- all seems good - no oil leaks that i can see- just need to take it out for a ride and make sure.
tatu thanks again for your offer, i came right with a shim- found a second hand one at the corret size.
cheers again all!Comment

You're welcome anytime.sigpic
Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.Comment
