Update on my 888:

Frame has been blasted and is going to be sprayed white.

All bodywork is off for respray so it should look nice and fresh for Xmas

Engine is in a pile of bits while we wait for the A inlets to arrive. Anyone need some 1999 (A) 431 inlet cams.

The back wheel and swingarm assy are away being modified for a 25mm axle to go with the mini rear brake.

I can't wait to start piecing it all back together.

Very nice

Never thought about the clamps and yoke, great idea, were they anodised or powder coated?

How much did all the pc cost in the end if you don't mind me asking?

The wife is being nosey

thats class
it is heavy though and you may find it difficult to move the engine while still on the frame after. but you can always lift it off when everything else is clear.
