Many parts were changed, indictators, valves. guides and piston, primary chain, drive chain, wheel bearings. Made my own head steady as the horrible steel stamped bit was prone to breaking and non adjustable. Most bolts and studs thrown away. Made my own crash bar braces from thick wall alloy tube and made my own adjustable ends. Stops the bars twisting around the down tube. Later, the plastic bits became proper alloy clamps sourced from China. I didn't like the lever pivots being a bit loose so the levers flapped up and down like castanettes at idle, so again made my own from a brass sleeve and stainless pins.

Black tool tubes in crash bars housed tools one side, engine oil the other. No shims in this one it's hydraulic tappets like a Harley. Front exhaust had to be wrapped it's easy to melt your leg of your kit. That massive one inch dia drive shaft, 530 chain and a huge 46mm nut the Indians deem neccessary, to safely transmit all of the massive 27.4 HP :rotflmmfao: Later style crash bar alloy clamps shown below, all of £7.50 a pair delivered.
The bracing bars had to be shortened to allow for the alloy clamp centres being different and this is where my using Loctite 638 originally to hold the threads in made things very difficult. Heat and lots of heat.
