It's now undone
Over the last week or so the bike has been dismantled to bagged up bits again. Some have asked why so extreme but the frame definitely needs a respray by a professional. Whilst all is good from roughly air pods back I see at least 6 paint cracks on steering stem and the rails around there. It was originally powdercoated and it was not right colour. I'm not confident on rubbing back the affected areas and rattle cans again and is too much of a gamble. Its winter and I have nowhere to paint and keep it warm.
So now the engine is free of bike too so can do those pistons. I may need help as never done a desmo setup but assuming it has been shimmed it should be ok again. I have new gaskets etc so may as stood static for 18 months plus need new belts.
I'm still after a rear inner mudguard but one with no cracked fittings or drilled holes from alarms etc. Also I need still a air box breather pipe and another pipe from the carb breather pods as both items has splits.
