It’s still at the shop. The new pistons are in but they had to order new head bolts last week. They may have to wait for warmer weather to tune properly. It’s going a bit slow but they are the only game in town.

Look forward to the results, happy to see another rocket going under the knife.
Sheesh, if you all had seen my garage when I did my bike you'd have had a heart attack. Now that I've done an R3 motor, on the second one I've literally just been throwing all the pieces and bolts in one giant tub.
Yes, I remember where they all go, but, I'm sure it'd freak out any customer if it were customer's bike lol. 99% of this motor can only go together in one way, it's actually pretty hard to screw it up.

Since it's stripped down, good time for a powdercoat of the frame!

Good to hear, shouldn't be too much longer. I bought that same Snap-on when I was about 23 years old (6 months ago). If they have problems, just PM someone

Feel the same here. I appreciate all the advice on frame coating and gear work but I'm going to have to let the wallet rest a bit. After the suspension work and motor combined with a big bore 116 kit for the wife's Indian and a new watch for myself I'm getting low on what i call "free money".
