Live, breath, sleep HONDA!
I don't know if anyone is still following my build. Its a tad slow going so each time I update I get the warning to start a new thread rather then post to the old one. If anyone wants to see the previous progress made on this build here is the link to the original thread:

Moving on.
Ok so the engine is in! I wrapped my wires with some of the braided material and sealed my side cover gaskets. Allen bolts have been polished and the cylinders are painted with the copper VHT used on the front fender and headlight. I swapped out my polished top triple tree clamp with another polished and shaved one purchased on this site in the stuff your selling section. I also took my fuel tank and master cylinder to a professional polisher call Metal Works North in Beacon Falls, CT. Tom does a great job and super fast too! Show quality like a mirror.
I polished my seat pan and some other tid bits myself and my friend Kyle helped me install the motor. This thing is looking awesome IMO. Still lots to do but the further I get the more motivated I am.
Here are some pics

New foot peg rubbers - trick with these is to boil them first and then they slip on easy squeezy
