One morenote...... Kudos to you for doing what needed to be done, creating a great ride, with even better history, in a TIMELY manner. Many of us here, including my self, often get so buried in the details that our projects take years, not months! Congratulations on a very nice project.

Thanks!  I really like making progress, so I tend to rip through projects fairly quickly.  I do envy people who can go slow and really enjoy the process though.

Did a few things on this bike recently.  I did the first oil change since the one I did when I first got the bike.  I cut open the filter and there was absolutely nothing inside the pleats thankfully.  I also swapped out the damaged/repaired oil pan for one I picked up a while back:


I took her out for a bit more of a spirited ride today.  She still moves pretty good for being 50 years young.  Out on the road she's perfect, but idling is still a struggle.  I still need to fix a crack in the left side cover so I'll stick to showing off her good side:


Took the XS650 out for a spin also:
