Popping my XS650 cherry, the Journey so far.

Well, in a previous life I got to overhaul aircraft engines and then go fly behind 'em for an hour at WOT to break 'em in.... and if you can believe it, they paid me for it. ;)

Redlining a bike I put together is second place... relatively speaking. Close, but second.

The show must go on!

A new second-hand oil feed turned up today and a packet of nice shiny fixings so I can crack on with the last few bits!

Last few jobs then will be doing some final checks before hopefully trying to fire her up!
 
Well how time flies!

I suppose have another sprog does that haha!

Been out of this for too long and really did not keep this updated... Whoops!

Lots of nothing much happened

But finished the engine rebuild and have now installed a PMA and TCI from pipes and stuff!

A very lovely bit of kit indeed frond pipes and stuff!
 
was abit stumped at how to get it off untill a moment of clarity hit me and I ground a slot into each rivet/screw and just used a flathead to unwind them easy peasy!
I think @Adamc is looking for one of those TCI pickups if you still have it. He's over on your side of the pond.
