Hey guys, I will be posting the build progress of my bike which I bought around May last year. It was in a very bad condition barely running, low compression, leaking oil and fuel and clearly not serviced for a very long time. The build was strictly on a budget and I made/repaired everything myself and buying parts only for cheap. The bike has been Stripped all down and painted/rebuilt with new parts where possible. The bike was also running very badly and was massively losing power on high revs 8K + . I decided to strip the engine down to see whats going on and found that one of the piston sleeves was cracked. I bought a new kit including new pistons, rings and block to sort this out. While the engine was stripped I cleaned everything and lapped the valves for better sealing. Rebuilt the engine and carbs, slapped it on the bike and ran perfectly.

About a week ago I also discovered that one of the ignition advance springs was missing. Strangely enough the bike was still working fine and I just replaced both springs with generic ones from ebay.

My next 2 goals will be to paint the fuel tank professionally and do a custom 2 in 1 exhaust with a reverse cone muffler(not sure about this one as the current stock exhaust looks sexy aswell :) ). After that I can say that it's pretty much ready and achieved my goal for this bike.
