Re: XR11/73
collected the GS input shaft and the modified clutch hub today...........
and remembered to remove the roll pins from the shaft bearings (GS gearboxes use half-ring retainers and roll pins - GT750's only use half-rings)...........
also cut the hole in the side plate for the kick start shaft...........

Re: XR11/73
tonight I have been mostly modifying the clutch pressure plate to accept a small, sealed roller bearing....
.........the purpose of which is to allow the pressure plate to rotate freely around the clutch pull shaft......
ooops! - the pressure plate doesn't fit inside the aperture - bugger ........... >:(
did I mention previously about the final shaping of the clutch aperture? A tad prematurely, as it happens..............
more bloody filing.........but the result is worth the effort.........

Re: XR11/73
making the new gearbox oil filler - now relocated to the l/h side casing......
grooved for an "o" ring, which seals the casing, and another groove to locate the crankcase half-ring retainer........
in situ, where the water pump / rev counter drive shaft used to live...........
and this piece will be fitted into the l/h outer casing, with a filler neck (yet to be made) attached. The "o" ring seals the joint between the female (crankcase) and male (outer cover) pieces.........
like so.........
