Hey! First of all nice build! But please be carefull when quenching the bolts. They become prone to snapping and can become very brittle, depending the temperature and rate of cooling of course.
I bought one from the dvla impound, stored outdoors for nearly two years, complete bike but tatty as a (insert something tatty) Just rebuilt the callipers, I thought the bike weighed a ton but ‘twas the brakes….done a servic and the Maine’s quite tappy…..is there adjustment on the valves
Hah. Nice job with the callipers. If its a bit "tappy" then its definitely worth taking the top off the head and checking the valve clearances. Its pretty fiddly to get into it with the engine in the frame, but its do-able.
I will be. I am about to upload a new video in the next couple of hours with a full run-through of where its at. Hopefully, it will be all finished in the next month and will be up for sale.
