I got the bike back from the fab shop last week.
Got the front end on but had to  peel some of that green chrome vinyl off of the forks to fit in the triple clamps.  At 1am I never thought about prying the triple clamps open a little.

I never had to cut the pipe but I will need to dent the back side of it to clear the water spigot. They modified the front diameter of the silencer to fit in the pipe.

Got my cylinder tonight.  Looks good. UPS managed to beat the hell out of it on the ride home and the 1mm head gasket got beat up a little.

The wedding held things up, and now I have a temporary health problem keeping me out of the garage. Not sure when I'll get it done, but I have everything I need to put it together and ride.
