  1. My last couple of parts arrived today, ordered new starter from electrex world they sale on eBay for £132,50 including post I brought direct from them and with post is still the same price, but with eBay you get more protection should the item not turn up etc, the company service was very good delivered in 18 hours.

    Next up is deliver all parts for reassemble :)

  2. Picked up my engine from Glen at Moto v, All new engine/belt bearings, valve seals etc, new starter motor, I have a nice open clutch cover to fit.
    Next job is get forks and shock serviced.
    A thank you to @gaz92 for the engine stand makes life much easier to move/store.

  3. A little bit more progress.
    As my fork tubes have to much pitting I got a pair from @Nasher :upyeah: in great condition with non adjustable lowers and needed to swap them over to my adjustable lowers, so popped over to a mate who has done this before.

    One fork had just under 200mm the other 350mm :eek:

    Interesting on the fork springs, which is original if any of them as I can't find any markings or numbers on them.

  4. The top one looks like the standard spring I took out of my ‘96 SS, it should measure 340mm if that’s any help to you.
