OK, so I'll wait out Joes to try and get the Suzuki Intruder in there to sort out the motor.
Also seems like a good excuse to completely strip the bike and sort everything out, repaint etc. So just a couple more questions, appreciate if anyone can help for Chiang Mai:
1. Just pulled the front wheel off and seem the brake calipers are not sitting true to the disk due to a botchy realign with the widened forks, but I will correct that. However have a few bent spokes, any where that re-spokes 19" wheels, getting the spokes all chromed would be nice too...
2. New tires, somewhere that actually balances the wheels as well as just putting the tire on?
3. Just in case Joes is too busy, anywhere in the whole country that can professionally rebuild the engine? Includes checking the carburetor jetting etc.
4. Somewhere to re-core the radiator, might as well do that as well in a hot climate.
Everything else I can sort out and get it like new again, hopefully I won't have to also strip the motor, have done it before but back home easy to find shops to re-bore cylinders and get new rings, advice, valve seats etc.
That useful motorbike related shops list was really helpful, thanks to who compiled.
Cheers...
