Honda manual says with pump removed, immerse into oil and rotate drive wheel anti clockwise until oil comes with out of the two feeds to prime it.

Then install in sump prior to turning engine.

Just a quick thought, are you confident of the feed line from your oil tank going to the right port on engine as it looks non standard?

Always nice when you get something running, and closer to getting out on the road as well.

Strangely enough, the younger the tester, the less of a problem it is. The place I take my bikes to admits he has absolutely no idea how loud the original pipes on a bike would have been, he wasn't born till 1986, and has never seen an old Honda with stock pipes, so has no comparison! So, provided the exhaust isn't falling apart, and has some form of visible baffling, it's okay by him.
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!
