Hi Muskrat, What a difference to what it has been, what with the sticking carb' slides (2 carbs') head leak (skimmed), wrong engine timing gear (A7 long stroke),
sliders (badly worn inside), electrical problem (no charging), engine complete strip after finding vapor blasting residue in the pressure relief valve, oil tank split and rewelded after finding it full of media blasting grit, wrong head bolts (hex size too large), the front engine plates 1/2" out to the frame, twisted swinging arm, crack between the valve locations in the cast head, frame full of rust holes (discovered by the powder coaters after blasting), wrong rims (stainless from India) and the multiple mag changes I now feel like I have survived the biggest headache ever!! BUT BOY DOES IT FEEL GOOD TO HAVE SURVIVED THIS NIGHTMARE!! The end result is that after taking it out for a blast round the block today I feel on top of the World. Cheers. Gerry
