If the drums start at 14" looks like they have been skimmed once and had an 1/8th taken out. Yet the shoes have no shims underneath ? So if I was to get another 1/8 taken off to correct the drums do I need to factor in the previous metal takenout plus what I have taken out this time ?? How thick do the shoes need to be then ?

I am surprised you never inspected the brakes earlier on, a crucial area, being steering and brakes. Check the hub bearings for pitting too, due to condensation and standing around.

The bearings are all good, have had them all out and cleaned then.
I knew the drums were pitted but thought there was little I could do about it...

Rich, your drums look quite thin, as I recall I think there is a tell tale chamfer on the inside which is there on new drums and gradually wears out or is lost with remachined. What I would do is get some new shoes in before next week and take it easy at the show. I have a set of drums true and smooth available but will require oversize shoes, we can talk about this after the show if you are interested.
Your sprockets look like they have seen better days. Something to look at later. Kevin.
