Mini update!
On Tuesday, work started on the engine. Stripped out the clutch, and about to lay into the gearbox.
The clutch springs are shagged. Great. Also, the clutch plates are on their service limit. OK for engine testing, I guess, but I'll have to keep and eye on them. I had a slight scare with the gear selector arm, which put up a fight coming out. Luckily, it was just light corrrosion, and a quick scrub on the bench grinder sorted it out straight away.
Stripped out:

The bits!

In other news, I have also bought some engine bars (thanks, Apage16!), and I plan to integrate them into a bellypan when the engine goes back in the frame.
On the shopping list this month are the gaskets (ordered), the cam chain, uprated clutch springs, and I hope to start work in ernerst on the swingarm this weekend.
Stay tuned, campers!
