[Howie]

maybe i have ocd

Not if you have OCD, I don't want to catch that

I think my wife suffers from that, she's always telling me to put my clean socks on a different pile to my dirty socks
How weird is that..........

[pablo]

maybe i have ocd

People with OCD should be given jobs in hospitals, then there would be no MRSA to worry about.

Top job Martin.

Just finishing off a bit more polishing on my engine, then I will drop it off for you to work your magic on it Martin

Cheers
Bernie

[martin]

wait until everyone sees your engine bernie.
it takes polishing to a new level

[i know you have,nt done loads of miles on those wiseco pistons.but
are you going to get new rings to go in the engine
if you do want to get new 300cc wiseco rings. [i would,nt mind a spare
set. i could go halves with you on the postage

[Ian964]

Being quite new here and starting down the road of building my KR1s I have started reading other peoples build threads. There are some really nice bikes on this forum and I have to say this build is fantastic, I love the detail, it is a real credit to the builder - Nice work!

[tescr500]

welcome, there are some great bikes and fantastic people on here, any help and its on here cheers tescr500

[500bernie]

Hi Martin,
Sorry didn't see your post earlier, I will check the pistons tonight to make sure they are wiseco.
Cheers
Bernie

ok bernie.
picked the paintwork up today [ tank and top fairing not 100% but ok,so
left them with the guy and he is sorting it.][just a couple of teeny imperfections]
he has done a good job. even sprayed all the panels on the inside. just a shame i have got to go back to derby again next week to collect the top fairing and tank.
[so i will have yuor bike finished by next week colin]

will post pictures up soon

[500bernie]

Hi Martin,
Bad luck about the paintwork.

Checked the pistons, no manufacturers markings on the inside.
Only a code number and size on the crown.
A95K7.
7682.
60.94MM.
What do you think?
The rings look like the Kawasaki ones and cover the ring pins.
Cheers,
Bernie .

Hi Martin painting is a nightmare, but i must say if you take it to a pro you expect a pro finish, must admit i've still got top fairing to do again as i had some imperfections that i was not happy with, but glad the guy hasn't a problem sorting for you but i do feel for him its a tuff job, but hey ho its his job, i have a new solution for my spraying i'll keep you posted but top banana so far

[500bernie]

Hi Martin,

Just checked, the pistons are Wiseco's part no. 7682p6094. Just sent Wiseco uk an email about replacements (parts).

I may enquire at BDK as well since I am sure Bob has had his repaired there.

Cheers,
Bernie
