Fairings and Engine

Last Saturday (30th October 2010) Paul picked up my engine from a depot in Auckland.
After 16.5 months I finally get my engine from OkShon.
It cost NZD $150 in customs and freight.

Also a couple of months ago I received my repaired and painted tank and also a new set of fairings from Hong Kong. The first photo shows the bodywork about to be sent from Hong Kong.
Notice that the 6 flags in the Terra Racing emblem are in the wrong sequence. I informed them of the problem and they fixed it before sending the bodywork to me. The correct flag sequence is shown in the second picture laid out on my lounge floor.



Paul has had a brief look up the exhaust ports and seems to think the engine initialy appears to be in pretty good condition.

Paul will most likely deliver the engine to me this Thursday (4th Novenber 2010). So within a week or two I will have the crankshaft apart for inspection. If all is well, I may be able to start some serious reassembly and have the bike going some time over summer.
