Cheers.
The frame has been powdercoated by the previous owner and the swingarm has just been cleaned back to its original finish (not blasted).

Re: Another 'spare' bike
The gaskets arrived aswell as some new bolts while I was away racing so set about rebuilding the top end as soon as I got back.
New bolts
Head gaskets
Motor all torqued and lubed up ready for final clean and install, might paint it, not sure yet. The timing has been double checked as well as the valve lash (which was all ok).
While it was all apart I made some drawing for some special tools to make life easier when tuning the other motor. The inlet ports are rough as standard too, lots of casting marks to be taken out.

From a few scribbles on a bit of old plywood the workshop lads made me this. Many many thanks
Should make life that little bit easier during engine builds
Anyone guess what its for?

Re: Another 'spare' bike
Cheers chaps, I would also have accepted cheese grater
Whilst making a mount for the HRC rad overflow bottle for my other VFR I thought it best to make two. Its made from stainless steel and then bead blasted to get a matt finish.
So now I have one for this race bike too, there is enough pipe left over, just need to buy another bottle.
