Re: 1970 GP150 turquoise or orbit orange?
Well, finally started the rebuild and got the engine put together over a couple of weekends. The casings were in a terrible state, all furred up and caked in grime. Lots of elbow grease, WD40 and wet and dry and they have improved a bit. I didn't want to get them blasted as I'm going for the old wor...

200 cylinder to small block conversion?
Hello
Does anyone know of a dealer/engineer in the West Yorkshire area that will convert a GP200 cylinder and head for a small block casing? Oiltech only convert casings. If anyone fancies the job or knows anyone please let me know.
Cheers

Re: Motorcycles
I have a 1953 Royal Enfield 500 Bullet, lovely big softly tuned single full or torque, sounds and rides like a dumper truck. Completely different from my 1970 GP but both classics.
