Your new bike No.2 or a client build?

The No.2 bike is sitting on the floor, and on the engine stand, waiting to go together. This is No.3. I still had a frame, swingarm, forks, triples and wheels left over (which always said 'another bike' to me, not 'spares' or 'parts to sell'), so I needed a motor, a subframe, wiring loom, dash and a few other things, which all just arrived courtesy of Ben Reid's garage sale late last week. Get in while the going's good!

One of them will be for sale. One will be for keeping. They will both get all the same stuff, and the same work (ie the valve springs and retainers replaced, so they don't drop valves). This motor is a 2010, the other is a 2011, both Factory. Same same.

Nick i remember you mentioning this a while back when i spoke to you and would love to know some more about this.

I'm reluctant to track my 2010 until I've got this sorted (as you got me paranoid :P).

What exactly are you replacing with later model parts? ( valve springs, retainers anything else?) How much do these parts cost?
What are the rough labour costs/time involved in doing this?
This will be a motor out of bike service i presume but will the heads have to come off or can this be done with heads on the bike? (sorry i have no idea about this stuff)

Cheers mate
