Not wanting to spray my original 6500km Rothmans all over the track, I decided to find another MC21 and build a track bike. The search started and ended with a friend and the other night he dropped it off. Here's what I started with Thursday evening:



The front end is from an RVF400 and no, I have no idea what's up with the green wheels. Bodywork appears to be Hong Kong sourced.

I took that pic today but when I got it the engine had both top ends off for inspection. Saturday my dad and I removed the engine and cleaned the cylinders & powervalves. We flushed out the crankcase and rebuilt the top ends. Then the engine went back in the frame.

Today I put on the exhaust, coolant hoses, radiator, oil pump, and some bodywork to check fitment (the tail is coming back off to do something about the ugly license plate bracket and reflector sticking down below it). So here's where I'm at now:



Still need to replace the carbs, connect them up, and then it's time to recheck everything before adding fluids and trying the startup.
