Okay, a few more NOS parts ordered and now the primary drive gear, clutch basket and generator nut all torqued to spec!

All 6 TZ750 clutch springs fitted with brand new clutch plates and NOS OEM damper rings installed.
I also replaced the factory pressure plate with a gorgeous billet RDLC Crazy pressure plate.

It's said to have better oil flow and looks to have a fair amount machined out of it, but I was surprised to see it's slightly heavier than the factory setup.

This milestone marks the completion of the bottom end There's just the matter of the water pump to install, I was really hoping to get a Chariot Performance uprated one, but they're no longer manufacturing them. And then there is a company that makes a stunning carbon fibre generator cover/chain guard. I did have my eye on a Chariot Performance one, but again they seem to no longer be making them sadly.
The cylinders are booked in with Mick Abbey for some mild porting work, then the heads need to be sent off for machining.
But once that's done it will mark the engine work completed for this project and I will turn my attention to the frame.
The frame has now been moved into the garage and I'm just trying to figure out how/where the steering damper should be fitted!
