Interesting frame colour. Is it the final scheme?....or undercoat?
It s hard to believe ...that these seemingly innocent titbit pics of parts....once assembled ...will propel you through space at near "Warp speed".
I feel this reincarnation deserves a new name once this surgery is complete.

by the looks of that, the cam lobes must 110 degrees from a point on the engine somewhere, with the valves open 50 thousands of an inch to aleviat the possibility of the valves and pistons hitting

btw thats a very pretty engine

Back wheel looks to be in the spot on right position and not frankenstined like some other chain drive conversions
Progressing nicely, is wheel polishing on  the list?

Very very disappointed with you Bryan.....why have you not pulled the carbys down to every last screw and nut ?(everyting else has been!))
You know.... they will be the one thing that will fail you when you have completely reassembled this bike.
Jus sayin.....
Ohh..and can you put some discs on that front wheel....it looks rather naked. A cafe racers delight !!
