Nice! Congratulations on the test ride and the tank looks great.

Fantastic result Sam! Bet you're glad you were patient and took the time to get it right now 
That tank looks awesome and glad to hear the test ride was a success too!

Thanks guys! It's extremely satisfying knowing that I did it myself. I definitely learned a lot, which translated into English means "I've made just about every mistake you possibly can while painting and had to fix them." Made it so the next tank I paint should go a lot smoother...
I think I'll leave the pinstripes off for now. I like the look of the tank without them, and can always add them later.
There are a bunch of odds and ends to take care of still. Mostly cosmetic/superficial but some performance items... Carbs seem super close as far as air/fuel mixture, but still need to be tweaked a bit. Also need to sync, but my bench sync doesn't seem too far off by the way it's running. I only did a static timing, so I need to bust out the timing light to get it spot on.
Still, it's running well enough that I'm going to hold off on all that to avoid idling/running while not under load. Once I'm confident the rings have seated, I'll play with all of that and really dial things in.
