Road trip aftermath for Brit Iron

After yesterdays outing the Bonnie required some much needed maintenance: fork legs drained and refilled. Which necessitated the handlebars to be removed, and the speedo and tach, as well as a readjustment of the steering head bearings to tighten up the proceedings. Also Bob Goodpastor noticed one of

my carb cables was routed a little tightly at the cap; so off came the tank and spun that… Just need to adjust the chain, oil levels in the frame/tank, primary case and gearbox and she’s good for the road again.

Likewise rows of cylinder heads await lapping, guides, valves and rocker arms… As well as a reciprocating cylinder clad piston.

    • He does sell a few, mainly working on restorations for well heeled individuals. Several engines in states of rebuild were on his bench. Cats both getting along a bit more. The odd hiss but they have figures each others geography in the house. The wee black biter has out on weight. She’s a solid beast now…
