You'd be forgiven for having forgotten my Fastback: I nearly forgot I have this thing myself, that's how rarely I get to
see it, let alone ride it. Truly, what a shame.
Anyway, as you may recall, I rebuilt the top end last year, and although it works, there is a problem that needs fixing if I want this to be more than a 1:1 scale static model of a motorcycle.
Without going into every single step, here's a photo of where we're at:
What I need to examine more closely are the moving parts within the cylinder head, plus take a look down the cylinder bores to check for any nasty surprises: the latter was easier to do and it would appear that everything is fine. The bores look clean and free of any scoring or marks of any kind, so I can just check that all fasteners are properly torqued down and leave it at that. This is proof that SRM did a very good job, and also that I didn't completely cock this up when I put it back together. I'll allow myself an imperceptible pat on the back for that one.
As for the cylinder head, other than a visual check to see if anything looked out of place, it's time to disassemble
everything once again.
(Sometimes I really hate these damn bikes...)
