I’ve been a bit quiet on here of late, but have been getting in with rebuilding a 1954 KH I purchased from Pete Brocklehurst last May.
I didn’t want to restore it as I like the idea of having a bit of a ratty bike, so it’s had some satin lacquer here and there for protection and it’s not far off now.

I’m now working on lapping in valves, which I hate! Shortly the head will be on, new carb ordered and fingers crossed not too far off a first start.

Head went on today after a mammoth valve grinding session yesterday. It’s one of the club’s Otto gaskets, as available from twin spares!
