Just reporting in that the bike is now all back to together and that small miracle happened- it fired up! With new engine, gearbox and fork oils I went for a 100k test ride in the winter sun and wind. Beautiful! Then retorqued the rebuilt left cylinder to spec. after the engine was completely cold. Thanks particularly to gurus Tony, Barry and Georges for support and guidance on the way through this one.

YAY!

We love to hear about riders' successes, even if they get there without our advice! ;D (or in spite of it)!!
