Hey all, it's been a good while. Sorry for the long lay off.
Some good news and some bad.
Bad: Rebuilt the engine a second time due to centre crankseal failure, it was brand new but shifted on it's journal, contacted the crankweb and spun to pieces, literally destroyed.
Freshly rebuilt engine, refurbished carbs and all back together running nice.
Rode out to a bike meet about 15 miles away and it was running in just fine. Then it misfired on the way home, on no more than half throttle as I'm still running in, and I trundled back home on one cylinder :( One holed piston later and the bloody engine needs rebuilding AGAIN!!
In other, better news the bastard Suzonda has been featured by BikeBound...here's the article link:
