Gidday Fellas,

The bikes up on the bench and its stripped down ready, the spare parts have arrived and now we're waiting on a few special tools that SteveD has arranged to be sent here from a bloke in NSW and then on Monday 11th SteveD is riding out and wants to help with the new rear main seal install etc... nothing better than shed banter while turning some spanners for a few hours.

I replaced the push rod tube seals on this bike not that long ago.

The 78 which had this red fairing on it at the time, I installed new barrels and pistons etc after the dudgeon pin let fly when I replaced the push rod tube seals on that also.

The 78 is sitting naked in the shed as it is now having its panels painted in Melbourne in the 78 Gold colour, should be back one day..
