A visit to the TT this year motivated me to get a move on with this so I’m back working on it! I had a little (really little) off last weekend which kept me out of action for a few days with some whiplash and a (still) buggered knee, but I was well enough to start paint stripping the tank. Some of you may have seen my workshop thread where I said I wanted to strip the tank to bare metal, brush it and then lacquer it, but having started stripping it it would appear that it’s mostly filler! May need a new tank, but I’m going to sand the filler out and see what damage there is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally got the new bolts I needed for the right hand cylinder head mount in from Yamaha, so the engine is finally in the frame!:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I got the front forks in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanted to get the wheels on but lost a front wheel spacer. I turned up some captive front wheel spacers copying some a friend had and got them fitted to the wheels (the wheels are getting painted in a couple of weeks):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Then I turned a few thou off the rear brake disc to remove the worst of the scoring (though my little lathe really struggled with this):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I enlisted the help of my father to get the bike off the floor and the wheels back on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Then I bolted the subframe back on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then machined some AIS plugs and installed them in the (already tapped to M10) head:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hopefully they’ll work as intended, don’t see why they wouldn’t!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
