I have finally finished rebuilding my mc21 sp Pentax. I didnt quite make my summer deadline but Im well chuffed with it.
I bought the bike a year ago and althougth it was all there and standard apart from JHA pipes it was showing its age. I stripped it down to nothing and started from their: engine rebuilt with new pistons, seals, crank case ports cleaned and matched to barrels, cases painted, hrc reeds and stuffers. The chassis has re-oiled and sealed rvf forks, new wheel and head race bearings all nuts and bolts have been replated and wheels repainted. repaired upper fairing and seat panels, nos lower fairings all repainted in the original colours and clear coat laquered, new cables throughout, new brake pads, new chain and nsr world sprockets, nos rear mudguard, alternator cover, headlight and loads more bits and bobs which I cant remeber.
Probably the most useful tools I have used in this rebuild is this website and Jamies website and all the help from various forum members who have supplied pearls of wisdom and sold various parts to me! Everyone I have meet or dealt with have been exceptionally nice people!
Anyway I better add some pics before you all get bored:
