Thanks !!!! This is the really really fun part now, final stuff and final assembly.
Working the painted bits. Ended up with 3 coats of clear, which is actually 6 coats, medium wet, 10 minute flash then another medium wet coat. Then 10 hours dry time in between.
Wet sanding now. Start with 1000, then 1500, then 2000. Followed by a fine cut polish and then glazed and this is the result

Finished the carb balancing today and then took her out for a hop, she absolutely flies. Did the ton then emergency braked from there, felt good. Spent a few miles in the twisties and she handles great.
Ended up with the mains at 138 and the dyno needles 2nd notch from the bottom with the Ape pods, plugs look good.
Made up some rubber bumpers for the tabs on the side covers out of 3/32 sheet rubber, turned out good I think.
Got the new petcock installed, the seat trim after buffing it out and gave her a treat of a new agm battery.
New reg putting out 13.2 at idle and 14.1 at 5K. Some final polishing tomorrow then a photo session and will of course post em here.

Thanks much, it's been a good project and I am happy with the results. I really like the red with the white and gold stripes.
Now if I could just get my signals to blink I would be happy. Good grounds, good power, they all light up but won't flash. Took the switch apart and cleaned it, have voltage there. Changed out the flasher and same result. Have 12+ volts at the flasher, 12+ volts out of the flasher.
Put new lamps (12v 23W) in all 4, no change. Have to dig into the wiring print. The left hand switch assembly I have is off an E model so maybe wiring is different?
