Got to admire a guy who dares to call a project 'complete' .....

You got me there. I don't think it will ever be complete. Let's say I have replaced everything that i know of that time and wear and tear has lost. Now as I add my own wear and tear I'm sure more things will need to be replaced.

took the bike out for a 50 mile ride. really checking it out. Ran with no problems I checked all the important bolts to make sure nothing is loose. The engine seemed to run well, didn't over heat. Oil pressure was good. Cruised at 70mph with little effort. When I got back the engine idled smoothly at 900rpm. Since I got the engine running and the bike together I've put just under 400 miles on the bike. So far So good!
