I got the engine back in the mounts today. Hopefully, I can spin her up for an OPTEST over the weekend.

IT....IS....ALIVE!

Got everything buttoned up this morning, filled the gearbox with oil and she started on the third kick! Seams a lot quieter and shifting is very smooth now. Scooter emoticon

Thanks again for everyone's help. I couldn't have done it without you.

Seriously, though, that's awesome to hear, and just in time for peak spring riding season*!
