I'm dreading pulling the engine down, not so much because of the difficulty but more of what further damage $$$ I'm going to discover, anyway I've made a start Camshafts are out, I've measured the Shims and thankfully there's enough margin to sort the ones with less than .03mm clearance.
I'll get the Head off tonight and maybe the Cylinder if my mate comes over and gives me a hand.

Meanwhile, new Meter Bracket and Blinkers have turned up from Webike, so thought I'd try and fit them up:
Rears - PO dodgy'd up some front headlight/blinker mount, so the only hole showing below the ducktail is the round hole for the headlight, do I try and dremel the diamond shaped hole in the bracket or grind away the plastic on the blinker to fit the round hole?
 

 

 

Fronts - Fitted the blinkers and attached the headlight shell, check out the gap between the meters and the shell, something weird going on here...Any clues??
