Looking very nice indeed. Who did the Cerakote for you? Flying Tiger?
JamesH:
Oh and a silly question probably - did you intentionally leave the exhaust copper crush gaskets in there?
masonmart:
Hi James, Hi-Spec Coatings in Coolham on the A272 toward Billinghurst.
Ha!! yes, forgot all about the copper gasket but they needed soda blasting.
UK Pete:

A question.
You have the crankshaft, primary drive shaft and kick start mechanism fitted in the lower case and the main and counter shaft plus shift drum and forks in the upper case. Everything seems fine and it seems to change gear OK. I have all of the fasteners ready to bolt up the case halves: there's no gasket between the cases so I'll need to paint the surfaces with, say, Hondabond and bolt them up.
The question is, would a careful person have a "cold" match up to make sure that everything functions correctly with cases assembled and partially tightened. It's a bit of a pain but could show up an assembly mistake before putting all of the sealant on.
