Engine will be ready to reassemble and put back in the frame as soon as I touch up the paint on the cases

I don't think I put the cam in at the correct position. I had the cam chain sprocket marks horizontally while the timing mark was set to 1.4

I went to pick up my polished aluminum and it wasn't ready. I mounted the grips and clubmans. Gauges are just mocked up at this point and not attached. The top triple and bar clamps are not the ones I'm going to be using, it's a cracked spare that I have, just put it on so I could mount the bars. The triple I'm going to be using it polished and coated with a ceramic clear coat, using the bar clamps off my cr125 to eliminate the idiot lights.

Nick - looks great, and coming along very nicely and quickly. One word of advice; make sure you remove the primer and paint from the inside of the gas neck and the top ring. Fumes will erode that and then you will find the remnants in your carbs. I speak from experience on that one...
