Didn't have a lot of time last week but just spent time setting the valve clearances etc and double-checked the compression WOW it's 10.25bar/bore with no observable difference between them. I'm chuffed!
The guys at SERDI did a great job x-honing.

Well its been a bit quiet for the last 4 weeks as I've been in Oz but the latest is:

Carbs fitted
New paint set fitted
Fueltap fitted
Timing set.
Front brake bled
Clutch adjusted & set
Front foot rests fitted.

Jobs to do: Fit the exhausts, adjust rear brake, fire it up, take for test ride and adjust steering and that should be it. simple really.

Images to follow. I hope to fire this beaut up this week in prep for releasing to its new owner 14th April (may have to wait until 21st at worst)

What can I say lads. It's looking fantastic I wish had the money. I had been looking a Zed but could'nt find anything to fit my budget, so that nice man Mr RB is bringing me in an H2 from the states.The only way to get a decent one now.
