Over two years work and finally looking the part. If it ever stops raining here in the UK I might actually get to ride it!

Great job. Nice looking bike for sure!

Thanks guys. Managed about 500 miles now since engine rebuild. Now running a 1200 primary chain tensioner, new clutch, bores honed and new rings. Bedding in now and some fluffy throttle response is now almost gone. A BMW oil sight glass, new neutral switch, crank seal and recon water pump mean NO leaks at long last! Have implemented all the fixes posted here, off idle air jets, split timing etc and really pleased how the bike runs. Many thanks to the many people who have shared knowledge and experience, I couldn't have achieved what I have without it

Jerry- You did a great job on your bike. It is beautiful and I love the color.

Excellent job

Thanks guys. I'm pretty pleased how it turned out. I have the original wheels too, re spoked with a NOS front rim.
The Vetter bags I managed to get recently and look to have been hardly used. The mounting frame hardware was very hard to find here in the UK though and I almost lost hope of ever being able to use the bags.
The paint is supposed to be Candy Blue Green but I think the paint guy used too many coats, it does look nice though!

Jerry- Your front tire caught my eye and I think you may have it on wrong. Probably not, but please check and make sure the arrow is pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for the heads up. Checked this morning and the drive arrow is in the correct direction.

Thanks for you kind comments. Here's a few more shots taken on the same day at my local RAF museum, RAF Cosford.
