I also replaced original plug of pin which holds rear cam chain damper with custom made lower one (in fact I made it from brake banjo bolt) and...
Yep, there are few tips in this swap. All is OK with gaskets but Diversion cylinder block has another tilt angle then earlier XJ600 one, so when...
Whoops, I am sorry for such a long absence. I have had too much work to do this Winter and beginning of Spring. I even had to postpone my Seven...

Thanks again.
Thanks:) New day, another part of the story. Year 2014 hadn't brought stability for Ukraine either. But people get used to everything, so in...

I have never written a story in English before, but, even so, I took a risk to write about my cafe-racer creation in few parts. I'm just putting...
