Wasn’t expecting that Dai. What a bummer.

A new clutch plate, bolts and the radiator spigot o-ring are on their way from Motorworks (I already have the other seals I need). I'll get started on it later when the eldest boy next door gets home from school and I can grab him to help me lift it onto the bench.
The delivery company were Liam Connolly. The driver was brilliant - he ran the pallet right into my garage and next to the workbench.

I had tried them but no joy. Apparently they don't work for everyone and someone has to be in the 'screw you' group. At the moment I'm still with stage 1 ('mild') arthritis where my wrists can have off-days and spend all day (or all week as it has been recently) with a nagging pain best described as like a slight sprain. Stretching thumbs for the BMW OEM switches is just mildly painful most of the time but if I get it wrong, I really, really know about it; hence the reason I fitted LFB with Italian switches.moriarti wrote:Dai,the best thing for ARTHRITIS IS TURMERIC CAPSULS used regular they relay do work well Kind Advise from Old Fart Person

The wain next door wants to be a motor mechanic and has already signed up for a couple of courses at the local college. I'm going to show him how to deal with bucket-and-shim tappets in the morning.Born Again Eccentric wrote:You’re very welcome Dai.
Good stuff, glad it arrive safely. Hope all is ok with it and Kostenlot enjoys the heart transplant and lives to ride again.

Great news Dai. The engine was running smoothly last time I had it running…it was the sudden stop caused by the tin box driving into the side of me (and my ignorance, at the time, of how repairable these bikes are) that committed it to the dark recess of the garage. Really glad that I was able to contribute to your project. Looking forward to seeing the finished photos…Dai wrote:
That engine may have 90,000 miles on it Paul, but sure as hell it doesn't sound like it.
