Hey. It's all good apart from having spent nearly 20k on two bikes and the kingswood and still nothing I can use lol. I sent my crank up to HPE in christchurch to be rebuilt. Both sides of the crank are worn and needed to be ground down and hard chrome plated. The chrome platers are in no hurry it seems, they've had it for over a month now! I probably should have just brought a whole new crank assembly with the other bits i need from America. The kick shaft is snapped and I was going to repair the enigine cover which was broken when the kick starter shaft snapped, but it's a fiddley spot to weld in and I don't want it to be weak there so I'm looking at replacing the whole cover now. Few other little bits and pieces to fix and I've cleaned up some of the ports while waiting on my parts. My bike has a near new kick starter on it so I built up the knuckle of it with stainless steel tig wire like was mentioned on here recently (can't find the post any more or know who it was who posted it unfortunately) so that it spreads the load over a bigger area.
I'm not sure if the newer/beefier (02-04) lever fits your bike though because you have an '86 don't you? Perhaps someone can confirm this for you before you buy one.
