Finally - They're Back!!!

They're finally back, only took 5 months  >:( . Gads, boys & girls - it may finally get finished soon after all! I'll check ring gaps tomorrow and hopefully start getting the thing back together after I blow the dust off of her.

Fondling jugs are we, Mike? Nice work if you can get it.  ;)

Actually, I'm almost more impressed with your photo work than the like-new Beemer bits.

If fingerprints showed up on skin, whose would I find on you?  – one of my many favorite lines from CW music.

Oh man!  Those look so nice!  Mine should look like that when they get back.  But they are putting it all back together, including all new valve springs with the new valves.  

I'll try to get pictures before they are put back on the bike.   Should be ready next week sometime.   Then the bike will be put back together and ready to go in a couple of weeks.  

Now that you have those heads back it shouldn't take too long to get her back on the road.  You're on the downhill now.  Shouldn't be too long before you're on the road!   8-)
