All the hard work paid off! I finished touching up the polishing and got her back on the road. After a year of sitting a few things had to be worked out. The OMP was over-oiling and the timing had to be fine tuned. I fouled a plug which is a big deal to me since there aren't many of these plugs left but I got it all sorted out. The first few rides upon completion were short rides around the shop just to bring the engine to operating temp to then recheck the torques. Its amazing how much gaskets give and/or bolts stretch, I had to recheck the the torque on all the side cover bolts at least three times. Anyways there are NO leaks! Starts right up, every time! And runs as smooth as I last remembered. I absolutely love this bike! Here's a picture of the bike on the way home from Rotary Recycle. I stopped by the local car show we have in Murfreesboro on Fri nights. The rain must have scared everyone off, but to my surprise the only people there were the local rotorheads.
