The gen cover has been welded up most likely after a fall - making it extra thick is a race trick (almost like a slider) so engine may have been abused hard, would explain the chain snapping.
Replace all components of the camchain assembly , I would strip it down to the crankcases and measure the bores & piston rings and just to confirm their general condition. Also go through all the valves and make sure none are bent.
Your winter has just been booked
MM!
Nothing worse than having an H and not being able to scratch it ! Living life on the edge,SuPposedly
Yea i think it has had some stick in its past life like. And doesnt look like any one will be getting anything for christmas off me by the looks of these valves.

Since iv had a week of over christmas iv bin able to get a little more done.
- New grips (so no more blue tape)
- New bar end mirrors
- New starter relay, after mine died
- New left hand rearset (after some prik went into the side of me the other day and riped it off, then drove off)
Still got a new exhaust, radiator and hoses to go on next week. But realy need to get some new plugs and give the battery a good charge as its a nightmare to start in the cold naw.
