How did you clean all the aqua blast media out of the nooks and crannies, then?
Bit of polish needed

I used bolt cutters on the spokes when I stripped my ST wheels.
Less chance of 'slipping' and damaging something that you dont want to damage.

I’ve been using power tools for 38 years,
Grinders, lathes,mills,chainsaws etc etc,
The first bit of advice I was given when I was a young apprentice was,never put your fingers where you wouldn’t put your dick.
Twatish statement but very true.ive still got my fingers,never been blinded and not as yet been dragged into a big powerful machine that wouldn’t even slow down if you got caught in it.
An angle grinder is probably the most likely tool to cause injury to someone,possibly only beaten by a chain saw.
If you don’t feel confident to handle the tool ,then don’t.

DAmn Micky you bikes look so lovely when you have them ready for reassembly.
You haven't got much social isolation between the BM and the Chinese BM.

You'll have the con-rod police after you leaving them hanging like that! I've always thought that if you rest them there and don't mess about, they will be completely fine! Nice job.

That's Braw
Clean as new....
I bought an '83 R100 a couple of years ago, almost 135,000 miles from new most of which was with the original owner. This bike is the opposite of the one you've bought from Steppers, loved and cared for from day one and used and used and used........... Last weekend I made some adjustments to the tickover speed and cable adjustments which has smoothed it out no end. Sophisticated adjustments based on the back of the hand against the exhaust. So good to ride, this may be the last bike that I sell. It may get upgraded to electronic ignition and fuel injection, maybe from a scrapped Guzzi V70 if I can work it out.
Classic BM, this is what a bike should look like as opposed to the plastic fantastic garbage that BM China are selling today.
I seem to have forgotten how to upload an image, give me some time..........................
