Mid life powervalve

[daglad]

I thought i would pass on my story and update you all on the progress so far.

In a moment of madness i bid on a 85 powervalve on flee spray and bugger me if i didn't win it . Then i realized it was 160 miles away lol. Hired a van, booked a room in a pub, bundled the better half in said van and off we went.

Picked the bike up, booked into the pub and got drunk, this probably lead to me not checking how well secured the bike was, Have you ever been in the back off a transit trying to pick a bike on the hard shoulder of the M1, chuffing scary!!!!

So far i have stripped the engine, had the cases vapor blasted and then resprayed the top case along with the barrels. I had my local bike shop check the barrels and they cross
hatched the left one for me. He did say they had just been rebored but the last owner had got a little giddy before they were fully run in but no harm had been done and i have changed the piston as a precaution.

So you are up to date, if you haven't died of boredom due to my inane drivel, i will keep you informed over the coming months.

I hope the pics are ok only posted pics once before and i am definately no computer boffin
