Malcolm's 560 Aprillia Rebuild

[Minter]

The previous owner of Sportax still had an engine left to finish on his bench. Part of the deal of me buying the business was to put this 560 back together! I cant think of a better way to spend a bank holiday! Pics to follow......

Slightly off topic but Sportax related. Is the Yellow MT that had an article in TBM still around. I think it's fair to say it was slightly tuned up.
