Re Powder coat removal. Blow lamp and a wire brush is you have patience. I'd avoid dipping as you'll never get tubes clear of the stuff. Blasting is a better bet.
thats the trouble, I have no patience!
Ill have a word with the people In brizzle that ive used before for wheels and stuff.

So after visiting Trumpland for a mates daughters wedding, and 2 months working away, ive got home and finally made some room in the garage to crack on....
So how the fek do you get rock hard powder coat off one of these frames.??
i guess it has to be done chemically, or something not to abrasive??

Well mine must be special then I did a test piece at 59 mm before making the new tool, and the spacing is wrong
so I did one at 58mm and all is well

like 58 mm, to my mate 59ish

With the Mk-1’s is there any differences other than the fuel gauge?
I’m guessing the 6 doesn’t have the plugs / feed for that ?Carb heater plug on a 600 and twin horn plugs on a 1200..

Mine has been fine for the last 13 years since I built it.
fit a head cooler as well as a 19 row aftermarket one and it will be fine
few years back I did the charity ride through wotten Bassett thousands of bikes and chugging along at 10 mph for ages. It did get hot but just pulled over and let it cool and it was fine
the next year I fitted a fan from an R6 with a switch and it helped Lots

And this happened whilst sat in garage for 18 months???.

How much did the “bike shop” charge you???

What he said

Also,the fuel,was pouring down the exhaust and washing the carbon down pipe 1, and dripping out the join it looked like oil, so that is why the expert bike shop said the head gasket was gone!!!!
-
That was a bike a young lad I k9now had taken to a bike shop, they said the head gasket had gone!!!!
he asked on fartbook and was told many times the head gasket had gone!!
what had actually happened, was the bike shop who had cleaned the carbs, hadn’t tightened one of the pilot jets, it fell out and poured fuel down number 1 cylinder, lots of smoke, took an hour to fix properly

Find someone who can ultrasonically clean t hem, then replace all the o rings that have dried out whilst it was sat for 18 months..
there must be someone on here who can do it.
happens all the time to bikes left standing..

Where are you??

It’s carbs, get them out and clean them correctly,
