[QUOTE="highbury731, post: 122396, member: 1557"] I got mine as boxes of bits which had been in a back bedroom since the bike was broken up in 1962. I knew from the start that it was incomplete, very incomplete, but then I didn't exactly pay much. I keep tossing money at it, and it is gradually beginning to look like large lumps of a motorcycle. It's already taken a decade.... Where have I got to? The engine was almost completed when I discovered a stripped cylinder stud thread in the crankcase, so that will have to come apart again. I have heard about a really good mod for the cam lubrication.... that's an endless alley to go chasing up. Forks are all but together, and the wheels are OK, so maybe it will have wheels on it this year. But at the moment I have a broken foot, and will not be doing much for a while. [/QUOTE]
