      engine back from the Powder coaters, happy with the results looking forward to rebuilding it up, just got to mill the writing on the custom ypvs cover as masking it wouldn’t look right

      I also need to spray the plastic covers because these can’t be powder coated

        Wow, that really looks pucker.

        I was always too scared to get my engines powdercoated.

        The results look grand though.

                            @Calum I know I’ve really been slacking I got everything back out the other day to carry on with it had to refresh my mind of what’s, what 😅 it’s not so bad when you first do it but 2 years later and you’ve not really looked at it you forget things 😂

                              Update 2022

                              I’ve dug everything back out and got my head back around the project. The excitement to build the bike is Back but have a while to go yet. I started out by tapping out the holes on the parts that had been powder coated.

                                  Needed to get the engine rebuild under way so I can install the engine onto the frame of the bike to get some weight behind the project.

                                  One of the only issues with the engine components other than the the usual wear on the bearings and seals was the play on the clutch basket.

                                  So I did some research and found out you could redo the rubber bushes in the basket with RD250 bushes and rivets.

                                  they sold them on yambits so I got the good old grinder on the old rivets flatten them with a sanding wheel and knocked them through

                                  installed the new bushes and put it back together the play in the basket was like it would be straight out the factory.

                                  Apologies but I must have forgot to take a picture of the finished basket.

                                    Had a little play with frame and put on a couple of bits, pressed in the races for the tapered roller bearings for the steering stem.

                                    Love how the black contrasts with the red.

                                    Also placed some bolts for the engine in position ready for the engine.

                                      Something about putting pristine bits back together. It’s like unwrapping a Christmas pressie backwards!

                                      I had a similar situation with an old Audi project that I left for a year, I couldn’t remember what bolts to use to put certain bits where! I had to relearn something that I used to know like the back of my hand!...

                                        @SpookDog oh yes you got that right it is very satisfying,I’m lucky in the respect that’s it’s only a two stroke bike and not a Audi with ten times the amount of bits lol

                                          It was only an old Audi 90 10v that I went OCD on. I put a gas flowed head on it with a fat cam and lowered it. Some horrible little crackhead weighted it in when I got made homeless and wasn’t around, back when the price of scrap went crazy (2010?)
                                          Shtuff happens! 🤨 ...
