Back to bike news, it's idling well now that the engine's broken in a bit. I've still got a slight stumble at small mid-throttle openings to figure out. If I gas it, it's fine. It idles and has great power, and sounds sweet. I swapped fork oil for heavier grade and that made a big difference. It's super good, and the disc is really strong. I can chirp the front any time. It starts first or 2nd kick when cold with the Mikuni enrichener lever pushed down, then I ride it away and flip the lever up, and it's a one-kick start. It sounds great and handles well. It doesn't even leak any fluids. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop... I can't be this good of a builder, can I?
Oh, BTW Evel Knievel rode a Norton N15CS before switching to HD. He also had a Willys wagon. So i have that in common with him. No jumps for me though.
