     Sent the Heads to the "doctors" to get made better than new, the barrels are in good nic so im just gonna hone them, the poor girl was starting to blow a little smoke and that with some leaky base gaskets i decided to rip her down.

    Next stop 200 rear and Tbars, and a few more degrees rake to bring my rake/trail in line

    Not sure Will as the speedo lies, its telling me a little over 80,000 miles but i dont know the history of the first 14 years of its life. the barrels are in great condition and the smoke that it was puffing was from the rings on the rear cyl aligning, been told you get that from over revving.

    No worries Burnzi, it depends on what your going to do aswell for the price difference.
    Ive already picked up some T-bars 2nd hand from the States, Ive got my trees here, Nico fro Nico's Customs in Kyabram has got a swing arm that were gonna bolt on, im gonna need a new rear wheel so im thinking of a set of fat spokes will set it off..I wanted to put an el bruto 127 in but couldnt justify the coin.... The joys of it all

    Been a slow start waiting on parts and sht but the wheel is in just need to cut the horns off and pull the bottom end out, rebuild the bottom and sandblast the frame

    im guessing they have been measured but with you saying that i will check to be sure, with fully rebuilt heads and bottom end to hone the barrels with out being measured would be asking for problems, might even pay to go oversize pistons anyway
