Going to start my winter strip down tonight, whilst the engines out i will be having a full custom paint job done.

So while this is happening ill be doing my valve check, was also thinking of upgrading to the revised timing chain guides and fitting some heat insulation to the frame.

Wheres the best place to get these from and does anybody have par numbers etc.

Anything else worth doing while the bikes in bits ?

I will be taking many pics and a few videos hopefully to help anyone else in the future too.

don't forget to ceramic coat the headers, it really keeps the heat inside the pipe!

I can appreciate the pics and videos. Would be a great addition to BW.

Good time of year to get into that kind of maintenance.

Stuff strips of rags around the valve springs if you have to take out shims don't ask me how I know this. Just take my word for it.
