Re: New Bike
A mate had his Guzzi V50 bores redone a few years back, and IIRC, it wasn't very successful. Not sure if it was Chrome plating or Nikasil, and how much care was taken to match the new bore size to the pistons...
And of course that was a 4-stroke, with no ports to worry about.

Neil, I have the parts book and manual to cover that machine ready to scan any pages you'd like. I remember Road King Alan (New Forest) got one up and running from bits some years back (seen in the club video briefly), he might have some useful recollections?
Jake - remember Rustola? that worked so "they" must have banned it now.
(past Z90 and SX175 owner, me..)

Re: New Bike
Probably because it sounded too much like Cola...
New one on me; Plus Gas and Releasol were the ones, and although Plus Gas is still around, it's probably nothing like what it used to be (like Gunk, which is clear instead of brown, and doesn't work half as well as the old stuff).

Re: New Bike
Thats tonights job, get the races out and the swingarm bearings then mask all the holes or fill with bolts etc. The powder coater I use for big bits like this is a local friend of a friend who is a industrial coater so I always mask everything up for him to ensure its done properly!
