Should've looked at your name a little closer..duh, Lar..  :D  The CBX is looking real good, Mike.  It's all clear coated for the 2nd time and curing for a week before the polishing steps begin.  I think you're gonna like it..

Some truly amazing ones.  I really like the look of the sanded/polished edges of the fins.  I'm doing the same on my 9 lives project. 

Harsh:  Your engine looks clean.  Love your build!

Man...some nice looking hearts being posted here...love it!!.

I think there is nothing nicer than a chromed or polished engine, but when you got little Johnny (like myself)...you paint or powder:

Ever see finned covers for a 550?

My last engine build and looks boring on purpose.

Rebuilt as a sleeper ... 811 kit, cam, porting, balancing, etc.

Left mine in the Dryer too long   :-X   Now have to use it in the Grandkids tricycle.

Is that the 7.5 HP version? :D
