    Just a quick update for the sake of public record.

    The cylinders measured in at 56.01mm to 56.02mm. Std bore is 56mm so really thats pretty good.

    This engine will get fresh gaskets, rings, seals and a valve job and it should be ready to rock n roll.... (well after we tidy her up a bit and check the running gear!

    Cheers

    Binned my bike on the right-hand side, so need to get the oil cover on the right-hand side repaired (the section with all the allun key bolts)... Can anyone recommend where I might try getting it repaired, or getting a replacement?

    OK - not much progress but stuff is ordered including....

    Full gasket set
    New Rings
    Valve seals
    Carb rubbers (oh gawd I hope they are the right ones)
    Oil filter
    Air filter

    I can't buy new EXUP cables so they will be repaired.... (drat)

    I have had the side stand and engine bars powdercoated. Shame all the nuts n bolts are rusty but we are on a budget. The sand blasting and powdercoating was $50. Cheaper than spray paint and easier (can of spray paint is like $20 and theyre was a shit load of rust so rust killer reqd as well, undercoat etc. This wont wash off when the new owner cleans the engine (hint hint)

    The air filter looks a must - the old ones been there a couple of tomato seasons I reckon (seen worse though) but somethings making the bugger run rich so lets change it!

    Is there something special about them that means you cant get them made?

    Yeah - they have a billion (well OK a few) wierd fitments / adjusters but since i have all the bits I can take them to Melbar cables and he assures me he can replicate them so no longer a problem... Of course I could do it myself but I'm lazy and can't find my big ole solderin' bolt....

    Just use a torch, a lot easier and faster than a big soldering iron

    /edit: Some nice lady pointed out that that might need clarification. I'm thinking LPG or Butane, not Everready Dolphin

    I figured that! I had a HUGE soldering bolt that i used to do stuff like radiators with - It was the bees knees for cables (dry heat, no soot) but I can't find the bugger.... Besides I have a thing about making cables....

    I used to have no choice because you couldn't buy spares for anything at all so you had to adapt stuff, shorten things etc - bloody nightmare... I have even made car ones...

    I never trust ones I make though... No - they never failed more often etc - I just didn't trust em... odd eh?
