quick little story some of you might find interesting and a cool build you may like to see
a few weeks ago my friend as some of you may know (meatloaf) got a 110, and shortly after getting it the rings went. so he decided to just tear it down and do a winter rebuild because of the cold weather.
so we pull the bike apart 100% and that was that for a few days. then i found out about the masters of minis ride at mototown, and he wanted to go pretty bad, so there being alittle over a week till the ride we ordered all the parts for the bike. finally got all the parts the day of mototown (started at 6pm..we had time hah) we finished the motor the day before, an actual rebuild at that.. new crank, clutch, big bore, etc.. the whole 9 yards. so the powdercoat is finished saturday morning and we assemble the whole bike, go to start it and its a no go, i checked for spark, fuel etc.. it had it all. then i realised it was in gear (chain wasn't on yet) and i go to click it into neutral and it wont move.... i basically **** bricks for a few minutes. so i pulled the clutch cover off, looked around only to find the shift arm was out of the shift star (must have happened when the motor was leaned on its side). so we fixed that and put it in neutral and she starts first kick, this is about an hour before mototown haha.
so we got it all done and got it there, he started breakin it in at the track and that was that, what was a few months worth of rebuilding turned into 2 weeks finishing in minutes. pretty fun to say the least. heres some pictures of it, what do you guys think?
