    Got stuck into the bike over the last few days and installed the 1200 big bore kit.  While I had everything apart I took the opportunity to paint the motor and give it a general clean up.  Won't be able to get it started until I finish painting the tank.

    Other things I did:

    - Chopped and dropped the front fender

    - Painted and cleaned up heads

    - Added chrome primary cover and cam cover trim,  I've also got a chrome sprocked and rocker covers to go on.

    KC that is looking really good. Once you painted the barrels what did you do to get the paint off the edges?..

    Looks good what 1200 kit did you get? Those new barrels look real nice. Nice chrome bits finish it off.
