Sorry to hear, but at least its do-able, could have been worse I suppose.

With all that power on hand, think I would be guilty of spirited driving and a few revs.

Best of luck with the strip down.

As you say Paul its a chance to upgrade! Least you can inspect it and will know it is all spot on when it goes back together. Always nice for piece of mind.

If you rebuild it anything like your bikes will be very nice when done!

close but not quite. Bottom end is sound with uprated rods, no oil loss or smoke so unless i find a problem on the strip down it will just get balanced and re used.

although it looks cheaper to buy a complete motor than just a head!
