Progress........
Head finally complete after sourcing new inlets from Japan(how expensive!) due to not having a complete set that where any good in my now vast collection.All spacer`s(due to flatslides) and inlet rubbers matched/numbered and some head work by Mark.General tidying up of cast marks etc and a little extra on the exhaust side.
Photobucket being a pain at the moment so will post later......

Progress report so far.....
Motor completed tonight (about an hour ago!) and ready to install,only a few thing`s left to do like sorting all the stainless bolt`s for the cases/sump etc but should only take about an hour or so tomorrow and then fit it into the frame at last.....................

Further progress.....
Put the motor back in this morning and this has thrown up one or two problems,chiefly the clearance between the radiator and front pipes due to their size. Nothing that can`t be sorted though.......

Starting to look like a bike for a change,more as and when.......

Mmmmmmmm,
Upon realizing that neutral should not live between third and fourth and my comment of `it will have to be stripped again` ,this is the response i received from my `mate` Mark.......

On the plus side the exhaust is finished,tyre`s are fitted (rosso supercorsa`s) and the wiring will be done soon(another mate,got lots of em!).

Not quite as happy as normal,
Andy :(
