R90S the poster on the wall

They arrived today, they look great. Mike wants to check them out so let’s see what he says. It was £110 to have the G/S ones straightened and rechromed.

Took a quick look at one of the heads,
Fair bit of wear on the valve seating area,
And the top of the stem

That’s better:D
Not looking like it’s had hardened ex valve seats.
Although a bit pitted,there is very little wear,
I’ll ponder on these,
For the mileage the bike will likely do I have to question whether it’s worth changing the seats.
In the mean time it can go to our semi tame engineer for the fin repair

Frame is back from stripping,
Need somewhere to put it:D
I’ll let the timber dry for a few days and give it a sand down:thumb2

Definitely made the right shout having it stripped,
