Not much left of the bump stop:barf

They arrived today, they look great. Mike wants to check them out so let’s see what he says. It was £110 to have the G/S ones straightened and rechromed.

Took a quick look at one of the heads,
Fair bit of wear on the valve seating area,
And the top of the stem

The valve guides were perfect on this one.
Not much else to see till it’s cleaned up

That’s better:D
Not looking like it’s had hardened ex valve seats.
Although a bit pitted,there is very little wear,
I’ll ponder on these,
For the mileage the bike will likely do I have to question whether it’s worth changing the seats.
In the mean time it can go to our semi tame engineer for the fin repair

Frame is back from stripping,
Need somewhere to put it:D
I’ll let the timber dry for a few days and give it a sand down:thumb2

The frame gussets don’t look as bad with no powder

I think it safe to say it’s had replacement yokes.
You can see the impact marks on the bare metal

I need to build it up as a rolling chassis so it can go to Steve for jigging etc.
The wheels will be back next week
I’ll get the forks rebuild.
