Long time since last post on this build. Nearly finished my 350k0 and as with Micks recent post, started 1st time on the button - albiet with some initial popping (oil I put in the bores I think) - then settled to a nice tickover. Needs carbs balancing as one exhaust much loader than the other (both new silencers). Think you adjust them on the individual external tickover screws?
Just waiting for the recently rechromed side panel badges to be painted to match the tank, warning decals and tune up, then need to get it registered. Enjoyed this build but my last classic build I think.

There is something about a Red bike I think it's genetically a male  X&Y chromosome thing - it's moths to a lamp lovely colour. 👍
