@oldman Looks awesome dude, are the cases and head bare metal and did you spray the covers yourself???

Progress today, engine in, clocks on and small jobs, looks a bit like a bike now
Pivot bearing sleeve ,bushes worn also, spare swingarm has been soaking in diesel most of the week, will try and remove bearings tomorrow without swearing, chances poor.

Today I have been mostly refurbing carb. (Fast show joke, showing my age) came out all right but need to order new needle and tubes to finish, still not removed swing arm bearings, not that I am putting it off or anything!

Not easy finding correct needle, no UK source I could find, Wemoto do a aftermarket kit for the tzr (keyster brand) was going to be my only option as closest available, found correct part at csmnl but postage for one part expensive. Had to have it though, original needle deformed at tip. spent this eve fitting oil pump and Water pump, cleaning up carb heater spigots on cylinder head. Found some decent used rad hoses in my box of spares, trying to keep all original.

Cleaned and removed bearings, then noticed gouge in swing arm fork, looks like chain has been rubbing. Only minor really but want perfect finish so on to swingarm no 3, cleaned all the oil and grease off and looks OK, pivot bearing sound but main bearings shot, replacing those anyway. Weather permitting will be outside tomorrow removing my third set of bearings, just call me lucky
