Well dug out the set of 24s and they are looking pretty rough! Will get on them this weekend.. see how they turn out.

On another note I’ve been figuring out what I need to do with the back sprocket and looks like I need to come in 5mm so that’s sorted. But need to decide on a ratio to use! So suggestions welcome. 17” rear wheel, 750 engine, stock. Just going to be for some short runs etc..

Managed to get a day on carbs today, did some plating and cleaning and looming nae bad! Bought a carb rebuild kit which is total garbage of eBay.. Apart from the gaskets all useless, so will still need to order a few bits. But happy with the progress.

Nice job on the carbs :up Looks like a bit of hard work ! What did you use to shift the black paint ? I've a clutch cover here I've coated with Nitromors twice now but it seems the modern stuff just doesn't work - its only rattle can black I'm trying to shift - it'd be quicker to just scratch the paint off with my finger nail.... It looks like you did better than me ! Just wondering what you used :lol:
