thanks for that PC. Im looking at a couple this weekend hopefully. Just ordered some braided lines the other day. should arrive soon I hope.

the build has stalled at the moment. most mornings are -3+ and im waiting on parts such as the brake lines and a new rear shock.

brakelines have finally arrived from the old dart, so Ill be in the shed sunday fitting them up.

a gr8 fathers day left to my own devices and achieved the following;
cleaned up the engine, painted the cases, started polishing the clutch cover, cleaned up the pistons and fitted new rings. circlips and then refitted to the conrods, need a couple of o rings and ill have the block on soon.
A good way to spend some time in the sun.

sounds like your making some progress need some pics

slowly ..... very slowly but now the ski season is just about over and the sons footy is finished for another season means i get my weekends back.

plus school hols just around the corner so another couple of weeks off.

heres a few pics so far since ive finally got my wheels back and still waiting on the shock to arrive

The weekend just got a lot better seeing that Ive now got the cylinders back on the block and just waitng for the head to come back.

Can anyone shed some light on whether transaz megaphone type muffler should have exhaust packing? Sent an email to tranzac but haven't got a reply yet.

if it is a straight-through *absorption* style muffler - the one with a central pipe with heaps of holes in it - yes it must have packing.

But if it is the old-school chamber style - where there are 2 or 3 chambers in the muffler with small tubes connecting each chamber with only a smallish outlet at the rear - it won't need packing.

Ta gos. i knew youd have the info. ive still got a b.eer fridge to give away if your down this way. Free

cheers buddy - still spewin' I missed out on that Husky !! but will let you know the next time we are riding down near your way - will drop past for a beer

sounds good and always looking for an excuse to have a beer. maybe thats why my bike isnt at the same stage as that two smoke 500 rebuild.

a bit has happened lately and Im off and running again with the project.






but there still a bit of a way to go yet. I still havent made up my mind on the colour scheme yet.
