so are the rims just polished?

[rybes]

no mate. thats powdercoat looks like polished tho.

Truing is not as difficult as one might think. I did it on mine with the wheel mounted on the bike. Simply fixed a steel wire to the forks as a measure of vertical and horizontal alignment, and then spent two-three hours making very small adjustments.

There are some videos and recipes on the net. I´ve lost mine, but google should help.

Fantastic job by the way.

a spark eroded key way

and the shiney thing is a ...................handguard

why buy new indicators when ya can polish the old ones. polished on right tatty on left


las few days ive been doin all the lil borin jobs the ones that take ages but never seems like ya done anythin. all im waitin for now is the wheels to come back and some clips for the carbs once i got them in ill be turnin the key n pushin that button

[rybes]

heres the wear on my output shaft and the differnce between an old n new sprocket. lets just hope i dont have t replace it just yet.

[rybes]

well all i got done was t get the spark plug wires all on their coils n find out what wires fed what coils. thats all ive got to do now till i get the wheels back and some big jubille clips for the carb rubbers. heres the pics of the leads
