Hi, a tip for all exposed polished metal parts that old cleaner lady's have been using for yonk's on Brass door knockers ect. 1st polish them rub a candle on it and the rub in. Stops the air getting at the surface, so stays good for much longer. I do it on all my polished Ally parts on all my bikes.

Look forward to the final instalment. Noticed the you still has the original cam chain tensioners.

Just thought this would be of interest. Allen Millyard is a shed Mechanical GENIUS. He has built 6 cylinder engines and has some very interesting videos.

I'm with the "vac tube is on the wrong spigot" in the vacuum tap. Made the same silly mistake my self some time back and put the vacuum pipe on the vacuum tap drain. If left a wile it would run fine then conked out as it ran out of fuel, only to restart again a few minutes later.

Well I have a VFR800 VTEC and it is the smoothest bike I have ever ridden and so stable at speed. Fuiling is perfect. I have deleted the PAIR's system along with a K&N filter, but seemed fine before being done. Standard exhaust ( just for a couple of more days) then it will have my own handmade ...
