    @Calum Sorry to hear about your car bud. +1 for I'd keep hold of those extra clutch cover inserts if I were you, they look ace and are a part that can get rubbed/scratched just from riding so it would be cool to be able to just bung on a fresh one as and when.

    Now that the engine is done, I suppose it's best I return back to the frame. I've contacted another local powdercoaters who are able to do the work for me and it'll be dropped off tomorrow. Fingers crossed they do a pucker job this time.

    This is it as of yesterday, it hasn't been touched since I got it back from the coaters.

    My garage is also very warm as it houses the gas boiler which means it's toasty in there all year round.

    Meanwhile I saw this cheeky swinging arm over in Italy for a measily £50...

    Now despite already buying and refurbishing an aluminium swinging arm, at no small expense I might add, I do prefer the styling of this arm. I wanted this arm originally, as this is what you'll find on the MX, however the one on the MX uses a special kind of dog bone which I could not source for love nor money. However this one came fitted with the same dog bones that you'd find on the RX/SX/ETX and claims it came off an RX. So I snagged it.

    Dimensions wise it all checks out the same as the one I originally bought, so there should be no issues with spacers, clearances or alignment.

    It's a lovely bit of kit and a few minutes on a basic polisher shows how good it can come out.

    I'll be sending it away for vapor blasting and new bearings have been ordered.

    Question is? To polish or not to polish?

    I'm looking forward to getting this bike reassembled and back on the road.

    @ZKJE101 Hi bud,

    Not sure if you're still interested in these? Access to my lathe has been removed for the moment, so I've taken one off of my Cagiva and gave it to an engineering firm to knock up a set for you if you would like them?

    Unfortunately, these are not CNC'd and he said it'll take 2 hours to make. Like mine, it'll be turned by hand. I'm having another set made for myself and asked to make a set for you as well.

    If you're interested let me know, engineering firms are shut for the holidays now, so won't see anything until next year.

    Cheers,

    Calum

    You might have to earth out a wire on the CDI unit on your bike. There are some weird restrictions I don’t know about.
    Like my TZR had a black/green stripe wire earthed out on it…

    @pedrobatista10 I'm sorry to hear that. BMW550d sounds nice though. At least you're still alive and breathing and it is good to hear from you.

    Maybe one day you can get an adapted shifter two stroke kart and enjoy that 😛

    @Calum What an excellent use of space, and a first rate job!!

    Steel section on the bench and a pillar drill somewhere will finish it off nicely.

    @rraleks

    Who says it’s running lean? Overheating is caused by different things, lean is one possibility only. Check your radiator coolant level please mate...

    No way the crank has a 5.5mm longer throw! It’d of locked solid against the head...

    Please check your radiator coolant level!...

    I ran my bike well lean for 1000’s of miles without damaging the piston. It was only when my head gasket blew and emptied my radiator that it ran it hot enough to eat the piston, in the same way as yours...

    @spookdog yes metal type it seems fine with the rubber gasket but if I can't sort the squishing issue then I'll just go back to paper gaskets

    @donaldmendez
    Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches.
    I'm going to ride this one on nice days 🙂
    Here's how she stands now.
