    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Nice result, its good to know your hard work pays off. Bike looks sweet
 
Unfortunatley it never lasts....I'm back to engine out and the barrels are in for a rebore 0.5 mm oversize due to scoring....pistons came from England, rings from the good ol' US of A and exhaust Valves from Germany.
That was funny as they gave me a five euro refund and a packet of Gold Baeren.
Also need to get those hard to find Exhaust header pipes.....relaced the front wheels with Stainless steel spokes
 
Things that take time during a rebuild

Things that take time during a rebuild

Little things like stripping the anodize/paint off the triple trees and removing the casting flash - then getting to elbow grease and polishing for hours.
