Hopefully that fixes the issue...

I’ll run it in the shop soon…. I have to go back and fix a small drip for the clutch cover. I must not have cleaned it up well enough for the new gasket! No rush yet!

Finished up the back end today and tightened up the clutch cover. It has a small drip. If it doesn't stop I'll have to do it again (likely). The Lester got a good cleaning and  they do look nice. More snow and plowing today so no real rush!

Tightening up the clutch cover screws yesterday seems to have cured the small drip I spotted a few days ago. Did a few “starts” in the shop today and the judder on take off seems to be gone!

Thanks. I discovered a brand new tail light housing in my bins, while looking for a part for someone else. Celebrated by changing out the slightly rusty one on the K3. It has a K1 rear fender with the small tail light.
