Just an update on the latest fizzy.

Tin ware and tank is with sleazy being done, frame, swing arm and various other bits are at the powder coaters and should be back this week. Webbs of lincoln have been taking my cash, as has flea bay.

Some very nice people from this site have helped me out, Stand up and take a round of appluse Chaz, mech 73, Gary b, Stevewoods, Kwackers and toby 1 to name a few.

I now have a large box of bits in the garage waiting for it to all come together.
Will post some pics as soon as the main parts come back.

im now mixing with the real pros!

Superb rebuild Eaglestan!

(i specifically like the 2 mugs of tea on the work bench!)

I gave up on my swinging arm and its with a local engineering firm with a photocopy of the manual page on the pedal area!


I figure with all the equipment they have they are better at splitting stuff than I am with my Halfords under 10's toolkit.

:lol:

Stan, do you think the 10/30 will be ok then, it says its gear oil also says it reduces clutch sticking (well it will its fooookinn oil) it is synthetic from yamaha

Cheers
Cobra
