My R100GS tale of woe

[nick.ct]

Well they have the grab rail, but no seat lock to go with it, which is fairly essential, as it holds the rear of the seat down.

Anyone got the seat lock going spare, not fussed if it has a key or nor, preferably the grab rail as well, thanks John.

Will have a look, over at Mike's tomorrow, will let you know

 

[GADGET]

Thanks Nick, am calling in to see the progress on the GS in the afternoon, tomorrow.

Might be worth giving James Sherlock a call.

A beer sometime will be fine

Well done Nick, you don't really need the key, nobody ever locks them, I had the last seat lock from Motorworks, they're like Rocking Horse manure, I've got one in bits, it needs modifying to make it work!

It's off a 80g/s subframe but I think they are the same

Today's progress,
Mucho cleaning and the crank is in

 

[tuftywhite]

Can anyone else spot the difference between the previous engine 'rebuild' and this one?

 

[mikeyboy]

New timing chain,blades and tensioner, rods are on with new shells,and bolts
Three of the cam followers were buggered,but I had some good used ones
It's also had a new oil pressure relief spring and filter bypass valve

 

[mikeyboy]

Tommorrow the valve gear can go on, then we are awaiting all the powder so things might go quiet,as he's pretty busy.
in the meantime we will get busy cleaning all of the ancillary parts and await the shiny bits

 

[mikeyboy]

That's the motor built,waiting for powder now

 

[mikeyboy]

Ooh look what's turned up

 

[mikeyboy]

Be running by teatime

 

[mikeyboy]

Bit more before home time

 

[mikeyboy]

That's it,carry on on monday
