R100GSPD box of bits

[mikeyboy]

Recently,in my search for a frame for a silly special,
I was offered a near complete bike,
Bike was duly bought and collected.
Some photos

 

[mikeyboy]

There’s a few bits missing,
Main thing being the rear wheel rim.
So I’m on the lookout if anyone has one stashed

 

[mikeyboy]

The frame and associated parts were thought to have been powder coated.
Not so,
Rattle cans are us.
So I’ve shipped the whole lot straight to the powder coaters,

Will a G/S rim fit?

I had a spare hour this evening so I whipped the barrels off
Timing chain is new,as implied by the seller.
Motor dosnt seem to have been run since having work done

Honestly the smell of roses in your workshop must be overpowering

Nice one Mikey

Separated barrels from heads today,
I don’t understand how folk do this,

 

[mikeyboy]

Someone has obviously gone to some trouble and spent money on the engine,
Why would you not fit stainless tubes.
They were not very tight when I knocked them out which would lead me to think the originals were reused

Hey Mikey,
What was the deliberate mistake in pic 9 on page 1?

 

[tuftywhite]

Probably the rocker thingies with the dots on the top the wrong way around so the oil wouldn't get through.

That's my guess.

Dots to upper and outer is the right way :

Plus they were a bit far in with the studs!! Not many threads protruding!!
