Doing a fantastic job Ron. Can't wait to see it in person.

Man that thing is a lot bigger than the old R/R that was on it!

And the side cover will go on with it there! Might be starting it for the first time since Christmas, sometime this week.

Looks great Ron. A nice clean installation. 👍

Finally got most of it put back together today. Cleaned up some wiring, checked the timing, adjusted the clutch, put the speedo and tach cables on, installed the airbox, horns, tank and seat. After all that I just had to take it for a little 15 mile thrashing! Best of all, no leaking base gasket, leaking head gasket or sticky clutch! And the stock pipes are great!

Now I remember why I spent the time and money to get this bike presentable, I LOVE IT!

(And yes, that is a bag of tools strapped to the seat!)

Still have a few odds and ends left to finish up but overall I'm pleased with how it turned out! Thanks to everyone who helped me get it to this point!

Also got the front brake rotor installed, plated the spacers, axle and nut, and got it all installed.[ATTACH=CONFIG]60259[/ATTACH]

At least now I can move it around the garage!

Wow!

A single front disc liter bike!

Very nice indeed!!!
