As my luck continues the swingarm has to to go back as the paddock stand bosses have been welded on in the wrong place I can’t fit the back wheel as the chain adjusters hit the bosses😩

That's really sh1t

You'd think he would have known that

That's annoying On the plus side that bracing looks awesome
This is going to be a beautiful bike

Since my swingarm is away on its holidays again I thought I would run all it oil and fuel lines ,I didn’t get any done but the pics look good

[dusty350]

Wow, that is a mint looking engine
I bet it makes an Lc engine rebuild seem cheap !! Still, do it right, do it once (hopefully !)
Great work.

Dusty

[midlifecrisisrd]

Wow

Just wow 😛

I must admit it does look good pity to cover it up with a fairing ,good news though my swingarm is on its way back so the build can start again

[oldbritguy]

You have got to be well pleased with that.
That is a beautiful looking motor going into a top build so well done mate.

Got my swingarm back today not impressed with the finish I’ve been left to sort out and I paid good money for it

Now that's just sh1t

[reggieperrin]

that's not right...

[headcoats]

Not great but it is underneath
Maybe file the ragged edge back to leave 2 smooth raised areas

[stusco]

I’ve run the oil and fuel line FYI there’s a 9mm,8mm,6.5mm,4mm,3mm,2mm, pipe from each carb

The person who he sent it to in the first place should have at least done that!

I dunno what some people are thinking especially when claiming to be a professional/earning a living at doing such jobs,...I'd be embarrassed.

[stusco]

Shoe horned the motor back in and fitted the carbs that motor is heavy single handed

[stusco]

Got these today and these are the installation instructions

BR9ES it is then

[midlifecrisisrd]

Never seen that on a Zeel before

Some dodgy chancer must have sent him a knackered one 🤣🤣🤣

Looking fabulous, well bar the swing arm

Ahh seems Mr Dent strikes again. About once a year I see something where people are unhappy, and its not like ive been looking.

Its a beauty tho, dont let that shit get you down, you can easily dremel that off and just stay away from the supplier for good.

Unfortunately he’s making my exhausts he said 8-12 weeks it’s been 6 but I don’t think I’ll see them this summer

I was given the 8 to 12 weeks timescale, as was a friend. 22 months for his and mine were 17 months.... I'd previously cancelled an order after waiting 6 months having paid up front. Bought some from Jim Lomas delivered inside 4 weeks and they bolted straight on as they are delivered complete, not in kit form.

Mark's pipe work is absolutely brilliant but everyone is aware he is busy doing other stuff and sadly time scales aren't the best. If you want Mark Dent stuff you have to join the queue. Lots of RG (and RGV5) builders and owners will continue to do so.

is this why he dos not reply to emails? to busy.

Only Mark knows the answer to that.....

[stusco]

Yeah he won’t answer text or phone calls either unless your ordering something

[stusco]

Just tried to fit my refurbed rear master cylinder guess what ! It doesn’t fit with the braced swingarm,the reservoir is touching the bracing 🤬do I need a back brake anyway! So far I’ve had to under sling the caliper to avoid the bracing now this I’ll bet M.D is just waiting on ordering his upgraded rear master cylinder for about £200.
where do I get one of those poly hose reservoir?

[midlifecrisisrd]

You'd think he'd warn you of that when you ask for the bracing

Got mine off eBay, they do different id's

[stusco]

I have mentioned it to him but got no reply

Cheers Steve

[stusco]

Just had a email my exhausts are on their way
