Thanks for the Heads up neal! definitely learnt from my mistakes with a car project i took on a few years ago which i never finished and sold! the bike is standing in one of our free garagesm quite a big space, have a work bench down there too! for now i was planning on first getting the motor out and having it checked to see what is all damaged, condition etc.. then tackle the motor rebuild, get the brakes, clutch and running gear all in tip top shape, (all bearings, seals, gaskets, pipes, filters etc)..ideally i do want to do a COMPLETE strip rebuild, sand blast the frame if it needs it, as i would like the frame to hae that high polished finished (the beam running between the fuel tank and the fearing)
what mc16 spares do you have? that would be super awesome of you!
