Having fettled the bike a little I have discovered that some parts are missing or need replacing. I scribbled down a list that were required immediately. The key thing at the moment is to get the universal joint bolted to the gear box output shaft. Once that is done the rolling chassis is connected to the engine and gear box. Also this area is right in the middle of the bike so once it is done I know I do not have to disturb it again. The UJ is fiddly job when the clutch arm and battery box are in place.
Thursday lunch time I rang up Motorworks in Huddersfield to price up the parts on the list. I had to order them as these little items will hold up the rebuild. The chap was very helpful and got me the right mix to new and second hand parts. I assumed the bits would arrive after the weekend. To my absolute delight a box of bits arrived on my desk just after lunch on Friday. The very next day! Needless to say a number of the items are now on the bike. I will report later. I am off out with friends tonight for a drink at The Chequers and supper afterwards.
So for fantastic service in BMW parts ring Motorworks. Look for the link to their website in the adjacent column.
