Hi Dave, use paint stripper and try and get as much off as possible, as long as its acting on the paint in the hard to reach areas it should loosen it up enough to allow the vapour blast to remove it, it is more for cleaning than paint removal but my barrel shown had been repainted in the past & was very patchy & it removed most of it leaving a few bits in the hard to reach areas inside the fins where i will get some nitromors in & have a go at it again, hope that helps.

Bit more done. I've finished the outer casings to the level I wanted them.



I like to think they're clean and tidy, but not 'show bike'. I'm not going to lacquer them, just spray with ACF50 (?) All I need now is some money to buy the gaskets and stainless bolts to put it all back together. Any of you with young children will know that isn't likely this side of Christmas!

Heyho!

Pat, any idea what those Hex headed inspection covers on the generator side are from?  mine are the original XBR slotted ones and a bit knackered.  I seem to remember GC said something else fitted.

There's something like an oil filler cap from a Honda City 125. I'll have a dig around and see what it was.

The motor is my old 650 Dommie one. If someone with an XBR/GB wants to pop by the house to see if they're interchangable I'll make the tea while they try 'em out

Cheers big ears How's your SR coming on??

[guest868]

You know what they say about big ears?
No really, what do they say?
Anyway, DSR is coming along very slowly. Should have a new top yoke soon and then things can get speeding along. It's looking doubtful for the Dragon but hey ho.
