It sure is! Never had a newly built engine feel that damn powerful from the start either, and it's building comp! Been testing it a few times now and still need to fix clutch drag. Or just run it a bit more and see if it goes away. Not able to shift past 2nd right now, gears go in fine with the engine off though, so should just be the drag messing with things..

Looked at it for a moment in the garage today, in between getting my beater ready for the annual inspection.
Next up will be tweaking the front brake a bit, and fixing a leak in the middle gear cover. Forgot sealant there, or more like ignored it actually, it had a wafer thin stainless shim i thought would seal good enough..

Piss didn't really do any etching or patination of this bronze, which i guess is good, since i built this thing to endure my lifestyle for a few years.. ordered some gun blue and is just kinda walking around in this summer heat waiting for a few rainy days so i can play around a bit with this thing.
Really want a working drive train so i can run the thing in proper..
And ive sworn to not do any wiring in sunny weather. So it will most probably not be road legal until next summer..

Gun blue etching turned out real nice!
Now im gonna hook up a working front brake and a road legal silencer, so i can hear if something mechanical is shitting itself while doing the hard pulls..
Then its wiring and off to inspection.
Hopefully its done before the end of the year!
Then i can start thinking about longer forks..

Im thinking something like 10" over..
Might stretch the ones currently on there, never tried that before!
I got a pair of long forks with adjustable triples along with a bsa i bought this summer which are also good candidates.
And yes, now it shifts ok! Turned out it was a combo of low oil level and too low spec running in oil messing with the clutch..
Basically only exhaust and brakes left before you get a vid of it in full song
