    I think I may have told you before BOOOOM but this is the second one I've had in my RM now and it seems sweet as! Lasted well (I did it long before it would have needed it just coz they are so cheap to do).

    I'll chuck one in the CR soon as I don't know when it was last done and keep you informed on how that likes it.

    Check the gears while you've got it apart too. Not RM's strong suit.

    then tell us after a while if its still mint, nobody seems to want to use these bits in case their expensive bike goes bang, but im yet to find anything bad about them!

    I have got some Mitaka Pistons for my TZR, i asked my mate(a pom that raced in the UK) he says all the guys over there use them in there race bikes with no problems,
    I have rod kits ,crank webs ,power valve bushes as well, Be sweet when its together for my Pre89 race bike

    Bit of an update:

    Here she is almost done. Just got to paint chamber, get a silencer, front number board and graphics. It actually runs which is bloody amazing considering the motor had been previously stripped apart and was put together wrong and had only one bolt in every peice. All up cost me under $1400 so its not bad. May be selling, may be keeping... so if your looking for a bike in mint cond, giz a yell.

    Has new linkage bearings, clutch, piston and ring and complete gasket set. bottom end stripped apart and checked, new gaskets, and new bolts. Sandblasted and painted the frame, clear protective shit stuck over the top.

    Looks good, how much did the frame cost?
