The head stock bearings went in with a bit of help from a home made press.

There is still a few bits missing and a little way to go plus the the tick over is still a bit hit and miss.
I thought i'd bung the bodywork on as i've not had it in one piece for nearly a year and needed a bit of incentive to finish it up.
Don't think its too bad now?
I would say that I started this thread in "Restorations and Rebuilds" and in all honesty its neither. In reality it's more like a resurection, with the whole point to put ot back on the road warts and all.

Soon be off down here for a test run.................once the new chain and sprockets turn up.

Everything can be fixed with the correct application of the right sized hammer.
