      Mate good stuff, glad to hear you got it sorted! And definitely well worth replacing those seals... the last thing you want is to go to all that trouble only to find out you have to do it again because you have an oil leak...

      As for me, my tacho drive is removed and a blanking plate is there instead as I have the Acewell gauge which gets RPM from one of the coils.

        Wow pete you have done some really nice work on your bike, Love the exhaust and custom dash man.

        can you point me to the part where you do your jets on here? 100 pages is a quite a bit to sort through.


        I only hope my project turns out half as good as yours has.

            Cheers Trax! Make sure you learn my lesson on Athena gaskets too, have been replacing the head gasket on mine this weekend because I used one... should be degreasing and test riding today, oil everywhere!

            And cheers Rich, beat me to it!

              Good luck with the test ride!

                Cheers Rich! Gotta check the carb balance and compression first too... I suspect the left cylinder's compression was just a touch down as that was the one weeping the oil, so my recent balancing may actually have them out of whack now.
