Was the barrel on top off the bike when the photo was taken? It is a good photo.

I had the head and barrel on the bench for dry-fit, was bored after re-lapping for 3 hours, had a camera and some LED Torches...
Kind of inevitable really..
Still trying to decide if it's a cool shot or slightly tacky...

Thanks Guys..
The barrels are from an 1150R (age and mileage unknown), they were ok when I bought them but I lightly ran my springy-spinny-drill-stone-hone-tool-arrangement over them anyhow.
The swarf you can see to the right is from the heads (they've been given a mild going over - more about that on the other thread). All the major parts are heading into the washer tomorrow to get rid of that contamination before I leak-test the valves and start the re-build.
Just a note, the marking you see on the valves is really only on the side of the valve seat and is all that's left of some fairly heavy coking that I left alone because its not in a vital area and is only some surface marking. The valve seats themselves came up good - if they leak-test ok, I'm happy with them:
