Rember that L & R on pistons work similar to those on your slippers......
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
Still struggling getting the barrels over the pistons this morning so before I lost my rag and broke a ring I thought I would fit the chain & chain guard.

Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
Was it just being a bit of a barsteward Paul, or did you have the rings upside down?
Trouble with larger bore barrels, they have to be dead perpendicular to the piston or they just stick. At least the barrels are one at a time - not like replacing the barrels on my old Bonneville in about 1976 with 2 pistons together.

Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
Rings upside down? now would I do a stupid trick like that? ahem 
Yes a lot easier with a 180deg twin as opposed to the 360deg one. Mind you have you tried re-ringing a four cylinder bike? that is a barsteward

Re: Resurrection of Dobbin
A bit more today, couldn’t resist bolting the exhaust on the r/h side. One dropped clanger I’ve noticed is the footrest hanger is bent 
that’s even more annoying as it’s already powder coated 
summat to sort out later.

"Beautiful" Paul lovely work there mate , noticed the fins appear to be cast jointed to each other does it not need any rubber between the fins then.
Cheers Dave
