jerryS:
Thanks Turin, and yeah, I'm rapidly coming to the same conclusion.. stepping back a bit from a complete respray.. the frame is actually pretty good.. I might still do the body panels tho
Your III looks great. .the black wheels and black headers really work.

Turin:
My bike was re-sprayed. Up close the engine cases and frame are full of patina.

wirespokes:
At 55,000 kilometers I'd think the engine is just broken in. The rings are so easy to replace, I'd wait till they're needed in another 100K.

I didn't know the newer, oil filter, bikes had a sludge trap to clean out. That's news to me.

jerryS:
Well, I've taken the heads off now to fix, leaking gaskets, so may as well do the rings.. I do wonder about the mileage though as there seems to be quite a lot of lateral play in the valve guides. . I'll take it to a head specialist to an opinion on this.. Does anyone have any wisdom on how much play is too much?
