Finally got my backside in gear and put the motor back together with rebuilt crank and all new bearings and seals. Starts first kick, ticks over sweetly and first few runs round the block feels and sounds sweet as. Bolted new shocks on since this pic ready for MOT tomorrow morning and then get it run in Sunday.
Any informed ideas on how may miles to run in new crank, gearbox, small ends, etc? I had plenty of practice of this in my yoof but always had new pistons, rings and rebore as well so gave it 50 - 100 miles of gentle build up. Top end was all fine so, apart from small ends and gaskets, I've left as is and I don't intend to ride it like I stole now I'm no longer 17 ; )
