    Nothing else needs to be swapped. Just make sure you get a good set of C barrels and the pistons are in the right bores when you craft them unto your A engine. As I said, I plan to do this at some stage, so this is not a "I've done this" mode, but I know racers who have done this on their ZXR250's.

    Made some new tank decals for the gb400, they have come out tops , I had loads of editing to remove the really thin lines so I had something decent to stick down

    Got a battery for the CB, a cheap tank arrived from Ebay and started making enquiries about getting the X7 motor rebuilt. 75f8f085eab0054c0e3e109be4bd752e.jpg b74e6f64d179f51017267c341d52403a.jpg

    What cutter do you have Chris? And what program do you use for your Decals?
    My other half has a Silhouette Cameo and so far I have played with the standard software on there... I havent cut anything yet
    .. I will start with some YAMAHA stockers I think..lol

    So... rims and tyres dropped down to the local Bike store and will pick them up on Tuesday after a quick work trip to Dubbo later on today and back Monday night.
    I decided I was painting the fork lowers in the Black Onyx Metallic and really glad I did as they look really good. I have to give them another hit anyway as they were a little marked after sitting on the shelf forever.. Clear needs to go on the last one this morning... then I will take some pix.
    I am nw looking to find somewhere close that can Chrome my rear brake pedal to match the gear lever... then I can assemble the footrests etc..
    Hopefully the bike will be a roller next weekend and I can start on the CB400.

    alot
    put a new engine into the zxr while i look for c cylinders and associated parts (i put an a in) i think it needs to be balanced tomorrow and take it from there and one coil is weak as two pipes are boiling hot and the others are luke warm so i need a replacement for that i guess
    also put a new valve into the front wheel it was all torn up

    Look what sneaked out of the other Garage today

    She had a heavy wash down and might just end up on the lift tomorrow while the SRX takes a break waiting for a few items.

    Richen up the idle mixture screws (turn anti clockwise/screw out) by half a turn (or more) and see if that makes any difference.

    Got to do a bit on the CB400 today.. pulled out the battery box / Air filter s o I can bead blast it and paint it.. I will clean up the back of the frame and hit it with some paint as well..
    I also looked at the headers with a view to repairing them but I fear they may well be past it... A big hole in #2 pipe near the head has been welded before but I can Mig that up.. some other pin holes in #4 pipe at the same place but the killer is where #4 pipe bends down the bottom has been crushed and ground almost paper thin and that really isnt repairable....
    Oh I could cut and shut some stainless into that spot but it wouldnt look real good.
    Looks like it will be a Delkevic system for it unless I can find a good, reasonably priced original system...

    And when I went to put her back under wraps for the night I found this nasty little beast... it was nearly 30mm long but has since become DEAD.
