Instead of getting a new project bike, I've started a new project engine. (Damn you inner-city living and your lack of room. But thankyou, inner-city living, for your scantily clad girls on bicycles. Ahem.)
I'm trawling the net and will lose all these links without putting them somewhere. Maybe somebody else might find them handy. Many thanks, as always, to the Gman and the SR500 forum members. Without them, I'd be just another mechanical philistine. Well, less of one.
My slovenly progress can be traced through my posts here.
