New guards, cables and exhaust.
I have a full set of OEM gaskets and seals and some Boyesen reeds.

Started to throw the frame together today.





The Full Floaters bolted in. Swing arm bearings have all been replaced.





Triple clamps, Radiators & Airbox fitted.









New Guards,Front number board, Seat, Bars & Grips, backgrounds & numbers.
With a bit of luck I will get the rebuilt forks in tommorrow and fit both wheels.
A few little things like brake lever and rear support to do then I will start on the engine.
Starting to look like a bike again. ;D

What are you doing with the engine? Have you got a stock pipe?

I have all new internals and will put the cases & barrel together and cc the head. Check the squish and machine the head to suit. The ports have been tidied up before so will leave alone. Have some new Boyessen reeds. I will need to find out some jetting specs once i get it closer to running. I plan on running it on Avgas & H1R @ 30:1.
I have a new full DG system.

I've got a 94 roller sitting in my garage, reading this thread makes me wanna do something with it.
It's minus motor though so don't know if i'd have much luck sourcing a new one.

Thanks. And no I wont be selling it.
You can see in the back of some of the pictures another frame hanging from the rafters.
I have all the bits to rebuild that one as well so might sell that one, or keep it, or find a 250 engine for it. :-
Will come to that at a later date.

Mean while I am having lunch. Just fitted the forks.
Once I finish eating I will put the wheels on and roll it outside and see what it looks like in the sun.
I may even have a beer, it is friday after all. ;)

Well the bike has made it into the light of day. 8)











I havn't bothered doing anything to the wheels at this stage. They have good tyres and run true.
I will probably respoke them at some stage. This was always going to be a race bike not a museum piece.

The rear hub is very good and it has new shoes & the disc is mint. The front hud is not painted black as it should be but don't want to respoke yet so it is staying as it is.
Don't worry about the shitty looking shock as the other is getting rebuilt. It is just holding up the arse of the bike. ;D
Pretty much all bolts have been replaced with stainless cap screws and washers.
I have to get the caliper & master cylinder bead blasted next week so I can fit them up. Or I might even paint them up black.
Next is to reassemble the engine.
The shrouds are missing as they are at the graphic guys. Will see them in a couple of weeks.
I might as well go have another beer now. :P
Thanks for all the good coments.

Are you sure you're not building a "museum piece"? Ya' might want to make that a couple of beers you've earned them.

The reason I ask is many times I compare the weight of a stock system v's aftermarket and normaly the stock pipe is much lighter. The lighter pipe will perform much better especialy off the bottom of the rev range.
