Well this year is the year I finally got to work on my 63 650SS, which I found in Bathurst a few years back April 2013.
The plan is to complete the bike this year, time permitting.
Bike had been stripped down in the seventies after are spending time on the race tracks around Sydney, so the previous owner said.
The engine was in an old trunk stripped down to just about the last nut and bolt.
There was a busted conrod and evidence marks in the timing side case of the conrod making heavy contact.
In the box of engine bits there were two Commando rods and a set of well worn 99 pistons.
Bores were out to 0.020" oversize.
The head was fully assembled, the original Monoblock carburettors were intact except for the slides and Caps/nuts.
The frame was a roller with gearbox still in place, clutch was complete.
Most of the panel work seemed to be there and in reasonable condition, missing at the time of inspection was the exhaust pipes and front mudguard, the previous owner found these prior to delivery, he delivered for free.
Best regards
