If anyone is wondering what the shit is on the oil sight glass rubber, it's the residue from the masking tape. Hopefully, when the paint has fully cured in a few days, a lil thinners will take it off without fucking the paint. I will do a lill test on some bits I have sprayed up...

I can see the picture you took, but who took the in focus shots :unsure:
 
Today I have finally done the belts on the 749 engine and put the slipper clutch back in. Painted the ugly red pressure plate black and the clutch cover.
Swapped the last few bolts out for stainless and am about to fit the cam covers. It's nearly ready to go back in the frame!! Shame the frame ain't ready!!!
Would like to fit silicone hoses while I'm here but
I have to draw the line on a budget so just a clean up and nice stainless hose clips..

It was only meant to be put this engine in that bike..
A few days work... Id be reluctant to call it a " build " as I'm no mechanic and some of the skills I've seen on proper builds are mind blowing.
Proud of my achievements so far though!!! Just wish I had the money to go nuts!!!!
Can I "borrow" that engine for one of my projects?
Ah, go on?

That's a case of "zero bike". Like "zero covid" only worse.
 
Today I have been messing with frame bits..
De-greased main frame, sub frame and shock rocker. Scotch ( can I say that?) Bright'd then sanded, wiped down with thinners then started spraying.. got shock rocker and sub frame done but think I will use a different product for the main frame as I don't like the finish I'm getting with the paint I have... too fussy? Maybe, but I've come this far so might as well get it right for me..
Pics.
Also started stripping the front guard.. fucken hell there was some paint on that!!! As well as loads of stickers under clear coat..
If I was in the UK I would have just bought another guard.
