Hey Jon thanks for the kind words. Its true though it is alot of work chasing parts & getting things done esp. when its not even my bike lol.
But this is the best part now,getting to bolt all this together with new & redone parts,really enjoy it seeing it all come together.
The picture puts into perspective doesn't it.....

Thanks Dave & good luck on the salt flats.
Bit by bit....its getting there. I scored a nice boom box for the shed & playing all the favorites,find im spending more time out there now,consuming large amounts of bundy rum too.....which is fun but no good for the body.
Body work started,post up soon.

Procrastination is a real bastard Jon....ive realised now that that is one of my afflictions.....um lol.
Anyways i should've been a surgeon or a dentist,holding the barrel while squeezing in rings,holding pistons straight,making sure nothing bent or broken or missing (like 2 o rings) all this in 48*c heat sweating like a beached big assed whale....lol.

Great job, but it's much easier to look at with the RZ in the background.
