Cleaned and painted the pump housing and fitted back onto the clutch casing looks ok just used some cheap aluminium spray from Halfords. New kickstart seal fitted too,and popped in some fresh plugs ready to refit the engine.

A bit of progress on the RGV front end going in....not sure it will be done in time though
-
Every time I post some progress here I look at the last date and it doesn’t seem to be coming together anywhere near fast enough,I can blame Christmas or work or whatever but it’s down to me making time,lost my enthusiasm for this 2 stroke money pit for quite a while. A few cold hours in the shed today and a bit of progress at last,even planning some time tomorrow Fitted new headraces and bearings today,refitted the triple clamps and temp fitted the forks Depending on the size of my hangover tomorrow it will or won’t affect further progress Sunday
