Well guys I have been waiting a long time to start on this project, I was blessed to have picked up this gem from a great board member, :D a complete bike except pipes, I think he most likely kept the pipes, LOL :lol: Tore the motor down and not good as the wrist pin clip came loose and did a number on one barrel, welded it up and its all good. This will get the extra TLC as did my H1-A. :D

Yep, welded it up and rebored, came out great at .040 over and clean as a whistle, I will take some pics and post as soon as I get them back from the vapor blaster. I will never bead blast again. :thumbup: The dirt and grease comes off with no staining at all. :D
