KH

Thought i would post up a couple of shots of the KH before it gets put away. I've isolated the oiling problem to the scavenge pump not working. Either the woodruff key has sheared or there is some other problem causing the timing chest to fill up with oil. a
As the pump is still working its building pressure and therefore forcing oil out the path of least resistance being the timing chest breather. 



Its a very pretty bike i reckon.
Ive got a few plans for it though. Including changing the front hub, changing the sissy bar, and repainting the whole bike in a real light leaf green like the 1980s aston martin vantage colour. 


Narrow the bars a touch, run the front pipe through to the back of the bike, and change the taillight for something a little more period.

Me and Troy



"A friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
George Eliot
