Taking shape

The engine looks great prior to refit with all its new shiny bits:





and now it was time to hang it back on the frame, along with the rebuilt forks complete with new bushes, buffers, cups and bolts...



The front hub is not bolted in yet, and it's interesting to see that the bike leaned to the left at the front (or the wheel to the right) as though the left spring was compressing more easily than the right spring. I'm going to investigate this a little further as I may have to replace the springs and rods with new ones to ensure I have a fork that's behaving properly.
