Yes, nice work.  I agree with Stev-o on the chrome rims.

Engine starts cold, check.  :)
Idles when warm, check.  :)
Generator charges battery, check.  ;D
Parallel twin shakes your teeth fillings loose, check.   :o ;D ;D
Now I need to take care of all small details, like small rusty parts. Next project, the Beemer.
