Thanks guys!  ;D  ;D
I have totally missed this thread. (sorry for that) I knew it was on the nomination list.

I have been too concentrated on my K2 and 2 spare CB750 heads that have been refurbished reusing my old fresh parts on the shelf.
It need a ride which must feel different now after I have used my stock K2 last week before coming vehicle inspection.

I'll add the latest photos when it has got a Hindle 4-2-1 to come closer to 100whp as it should get.
The 4-4 (Lotus Root) is waiting to come back if needed.

I want to thank everyone on this forum that have inspired me to make the bike great again!  ;D Plus all guys providing parts and work as Mike Rieck, CycleX, APE, Dynoman and all on eBay. Messnermoto, Mirko is also an inspiration, his rotors will help to keep up the pressure coming summer.

One small detail. Head is not ported by Mike, it is similar. 
Ported here in Sweden locally by Motospeed 1983. They are well known arorund here. 34mm F2 valves in, 28 mm ex. + opened chambers as done back then.  Wider reputation end of 70's-80's since the owner Thomas Klarkner rode Pro stock bike with good results.

The guy (Ove) who ported it 1983 refurbished it 2016 or 2017 installed 5mm valve stem kit Mike Rieck delivered. (The old valves have found another ported head)

Mike blessed the bike with Billet block, APE crank he mounted Carillos on, undercutted transmission + various small things needed and how to do.
Plus the ventilation via the clutch cover.

I love the fact that this bike has so much on tap but you wouldn't know it from first glance.
