Cylinder 1&2 done. Now what to with the finish?
Heat resistant paint? But what color?

If it was me I would get them chromed to fit in with the headers and silencers.
If you don't want to do that it would have to be silver exhaust paint, black would look odd sandwiched between the chrome sections. Please don't wrap them with silencer bandage! One of my pet hates. 😣

I agree on the bandage  ;)
The headers aren't really in very good condition. What if I painted them too? Black / Silver...?

Why not, it's your bike. Paint doesn't stick to chrome very well though.

I found a heat resistant mat dark grey. I really like it.
The left side exhaust is finished. All the way from new studs in the head, painted black crowns, to the 2 silencers on the hanger with a new pillion peg installed.

Now the trick is to get the right pair decently mirrored.

Oh, and more importantly...
She runs! Even though I was very nervous (did I do everything right??), I thought about filming the very first attempt. And my gosh, she sprung to life quick! I couldn't believe it!

Anyone knows what the proper run-in procedure is with new cylinders and pistons?
I just let it heat up for the first time and gave it some low revs. Don't really know what I'm doing to be honest.

Some more sound:

Get it out on the road and ride it with plenty of cold air around the barrels. If it gets too hot, without air flow the engine will seize. Do not load the engine, 4-5k rpm, up to 50 mph. Do not do short stop, start rides, the engine needs to go through complete heat cycles, so aim for at least 50 - 75 mile ride to start with.

I can see why.

You build something just how you like it, put hours of your own time and effort into it, and then you get to enjoy it.

I love the understated cafe racer style, and the 4-4 pipes

Looks great, that is the look that I would have killed for when I was younger.
