Thought it about time I put pen to paper, even though not a great deal has happened yet, this started out as more or less half a bike I bought the same time as a couple of other more complete ones, both 3AJ. Unfortunately I don't seem to have any before pictures (twat)

new liner in

sorry Mez, no, Gloucester born and bred, was just trying to find a bunch of other pictures, but suspect they may be on the pc at work. other work to date involves rebuilding the crank, sticking the forks back together, refinishing the yokes, tarting up the inside of the shed and spending a fuck load on new parts.....piston, rings, gears, liner, oil pump, swing arm bearings, linkage bearings/bushes, engine bearings throughout, conrod, gudgeon pin, crank pin, big end blah de blah blah blah.
more to come

yokes,risers and oil pipes

covers

crank

hubs


forks and the repaired one finished

headlight,footpeg and tank hangers

Are you going to fit a kick start whilst your at this stage? handy.
