Bottom end is back together and painted, head is cleaned and ready for valves & paint. Still need to polish the clutch, stator & starter covers as well as paint the cylinders and clean the exhaust pipes. Gentleman's Ride is a mere 12 days away, eek!

Plenty of late nights painting & polishing have paid off. Set the motor in the frame this afternoon and ran all electrical & plumbing. Final bit to detail is the exhaust and it'll be ready to fire and tune

That's a proper motorcycle.  Nicely done.

Got the carbs synced and set the timing last night, perfect way to welcome Fall riding weather!

Took Stella out for the Gentleman's Ride yesterday, did pretty well. Definitely more power at the top end.
