I have started to give this some love. Rebuilding a stock 1100sz motor for it cos i want to keep the i 1170 motor thats in it. The motor is in really good nick.
I have checked the sump screener and thats really nice with no carbon build up which means its had regular oil changes.
I have removed the barrels to replace joints etc. Bores and rings are nice :-) taking hours to remove te old gaskets :-)
