My '92 851 has gone into MotoRapido to have the heads overhauled and while it's all apart Steve is going to fit my 888 barrels and pistons and SP cams along with a P8 ecu and new chip.

I can't wait for the result :devil:

So if anyone needs a P7 with an FIM chip or a spare set of 851 barrels & pistons in a month of so, let me know!

Latest news - 6 valves and 4 rockers replaced (lucky I had a pair of 916 heads lying around!) , SP cams in and shimmed, heads now looking as good as new and Samco hoses on order. Barry and Steve at Motorapido doing a fine job so hopefully next week it will start going together, the snow will melt and I can ride....:)

Latest news - bike's up for sale to fund a ton of newborn's nappies!!!! ;)

STOP PRESS - Bike for sale to fund new washing machine to wash said nappies.

The saga continues:

While the crankcases were apart for the crankshaft gallery plug to be replaced the bearings were checked and as a result Steve is adding in a couple of main bearings, new big end shells and a handful of gearbox bearings. :eek:

Some of the hoses were showing their age so a set of nice new Samco hoses will be going on when its rebuilt.

Credit crunch???:(
