Want to cry, my bike is knackered

Great news mate, hell of an acheivement as well you should be proud. Most people would have run a mile from an engine/gearbox swap.

But some of us would have stripped it and repaired it

Economies of scale old boy :wink2

Replacement gearbox parts = £650
Oil pump and gasket kit = £200
Fook around factor = Priceless!

The replacement engine was £400 from a bloke who builds TLR racers and knows his stuff. Plus I needed the bike quickly. I would like to have had a crack at doing the whole thing myself but just didnt have the time or money.

You're right, of course. Much cheaper.
You can always do the old engine as a winter project!
