After a winter of peace and quiet on the streets...
the reign of Terror starts again!
Crushed fired up after 4 kicks and settled in a steady idle immediately. I haven't run it on the road yet and I think the new clutch might be a real pain!.Hopefully it will break-in.
Whew!

I am absolutely delighted!
-- well except where the air filter flew off on the first ride. My bad as I had it off and on for various reasons and forgot to tighten it on the last "on" --
It just flies. Huge bottom end stomp and pulls cleanly up the range. It will probably not go any faster as I changed the Xmas tree gear to a DRT one that reduces the distance between 3rd and 4th so 4th is a little lower now. Nice to be going up the hill to my place in fourth at a 100 kph and it's still accelerating!!
The ss90 headset has really calmed down the front end. Nailed a 90 kph Groat with plenty of room for more. Before it would feel twitchy and flighty and fill one with fear and dread. Now there's a lot more front end feel which inspires (foolish?) confidence.
What can I say?
