No going back, start of my stree tighter chop <- Your title ???

Dude that is right up there with mis spelling "Marry Chrasmas" in Christmas lights.

Or the ever popular "Satan Claws" is coming to town.

How about "Satin Lives" - a cult of fabric worshippers no doubt.

Cool.

I noticed mate as soon as I started thread, it doesn't give me the option to change it sadly

Valves have been cleaned, they were a right state but 100x better now
Also I have put new valve seals in, waiting on gasket then I'll be to put cylinder head back on.

So I've now completed a top end rebuild, to finish off, I need to get some new levers for brake/ clutch, foot pegs, wrap me seat pad, sort out me wiring, and get a muffler for me exhaust and give the bike a good general tidy up as looking bit of a mess atm

Every time I look at your bike, I can't help but think that you're going to be very uncomfortable in unmentionable areas after a very short ride. . .

Other than that, looks pretty good!

hey I don't know if you've tried riding with hand grips with that metal accent part where your finger and thumb go, but I rode with that type of grip for a while and I hated it because I had to grip extra hard to make sure the throttle didn't slowly close while I was riding.

Kind of annoying and tiring on the right hand.

I got these Renthal grips and I am very happy with how much easier it is to handle

Isn't your rear brake line a bit long?

:icon_twisted:
It's on me list to do which atm is getting bigger rather than smaller 😂

Oh wait, you don't have a brake stay installed.

Looks like you could simply position it at the stock angle (straight up n down I think) and that might take up the slack.
