    Nah not valves…yet!
    Just the shims (I hope!)
    I can get the head off and the valves out (when I need to and I reckon itd be easier than the XR with it’s bloody fiddly cam chain tensioner), I can’t however machine the seats, so when I need them done…

    In the meantime though, just needs some tips on how to collect the correct shim size.

Jury is out with me on black panels etc, but each is for their own of course. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder for sure

    This litte honda -v- ktm argument reminds me of that middle east kerfuffle. Think of Dave as Palestine and TB as Israel.

    Dave fires off a volley at TB and TB sends in the big guns! Fairdinkum!

    Don’t tell me about the price of KTM parts! Alot of the Vor parts are interchangeable with the katies. I prefer to pay for Husky parts that fit instead…when they do!

    How’s this for todays efforts…100 bucks for a throttle cable. It’s a cable. 100 bucks! (nearly)

    Thankfully I was at SUTTOS when I needed it. ;)
