I was recently asked to do a bit of a resto on this R80 basic,
I omitted to take any photos prior to stripping ,but we’ve all seen a tired old bike before
Our starting point,
The crankcase was stripped and vapour blasted,
New main bearings installed and the crank has been refitted

Didn’t get any pics as I was heading off to Portsoy straight from work,
But in there we have new guides,valves,springs and rockers
Also the squish clearances have been matched to the 1000 pistons

Looks like an expensive one but should be great once it’s complete.
