Ok so after the last report as suspected the bike failed in the rear cylinder department but nothing was going to stop me going on the bike to the weekender. I made it, I rode it and I was lucky and humble enough to win a prestigious award. It also got me home but I never ever want to ride a bike like that again in any circumstance.
The good thing is that this club is a club that helps out in certain circumstances and lots of people came together for me and shadowed me and also offered me parts that were donated to the club to which I am extremely grateful at this time and will reimburse the person who offered them for scrap even though they were not destined to be scrap. Its only fair in my department as long as they fit and run ok I will kindly donate some money to him or a charity and pass my old ones as trophies if it helps.
The pistons arrived swiftly today from Mr Gazza and I quickly cleaned the tops up making a note of Front and Rear. Just a spray of 3in 1 and a nylon scourer and cleaned all the carbon off. Look decent enough anyhow.
Now I just need bikelift free to do it all and space to put all the bits I take off.
