Thanks Andy and Keith that is very helpful to know.

Keith I appreciate your offer and I will keep in touch. As a matter of interest while the engine is out, the crank is being re ground and new shells put in are there any items that might be worth addressing before re- assembly?

regards

Michael

Thanks Trev,

it is good to be back. I have received the July and October issues of R World and seeing so many of the bikes looking so well and being used makes me all the more determined to get the RC on the road: on that point can anyone refer me to someone who can undertake an engine re- build. I don’t mind where it is in the country

best

Hello all,

I am a recent returnee to the club having last been a member in 1997. In ’99 my RC suffered a major engine failure on a trip back from the North West 200. I subsequently bought a fire blade and came off that and whilst
I was happy to see it taken away I just never wanted to do the same with the RC which I have owned since ’87.
Anyway despite all the usual distractions over the years I really want to get the RC rebuilt / restored and back on the road: it will need new crank cases see attached picture. I do not have the facilities, ability or time to undertake the work myself unfortunately so parts permitting it will require a professional job.

I would be very grateful for any advice that club members might have in terms of recommendations and general experience. In general the cycle parts frame and body work are all good. A new tank, and fairing and stainless exhaust had been put on it before the engine failed so it was looking well and has been garaged ever since.

All advice welcome and it is great to see that the club is going strong.

Best

Michael
