And today I did......

Trailer it! :shock:
Nah, it might be better than new now but it's no garage queen. I think the new motor will be run-in by Northampton and then it's time to see what she can do :twisted:
I won't be using it over winter but it's going to be a daily driver over the warmer months. I only do about 4,000 miles a year outside work so it's not going to do it any harm.

That World Force looks great Eck , what year is that ?
Collected the bearings for the DH8 at lunchtime today, got them fitted when i got in from work, rearend and shock is back on the frame, also fitted the headset and fork crowns, discovered that the integrated stem in an oversize job which is a bummer as i planned on fitting motorcycle bars with a shim made out of a bit of seatpost, will need to find something thicker to use as a shim now.
Waiting on fork seals from CRC, after reading the fork oil thread will maybe fill them with ATF, waiting on an XT rear hub and some new Intense stickers (in black), may still be a while before the bike is riding though, will need to save some dough to buy the rims and get the wheels built.
Will update the build thread at the weekend anyhooo

Cheers K, will look at the oversize bars but have always thought they were a bit ugly, a shim would look far better, also the motorcycle Renthals are about 4mm thick, so weakening them with a shim wont be much of a worry
cheers jimmi it's a 1998 .
i posted that seatpost and the rest of the headset today , sorry about the delay but i had lost one of the parts of the post that clamp onto the seat i really really need a huge clearout
