Two months later the bike is back together and I managed to get in a couple of laps around the yard. If all goes well tomorrow it'll have insurance and a tag and I'll be doing a lap around the Little River Canyon <:-)
Still doesn't kick easily but that could just as easily be my 59 year old kicking leg. That said, third kick was magic most of the time. I'm surprised at how powerful it feels for single carb 650...but, then again, this used to be a big motor bike back in the day.
