Well I managed to turn her over and did a 15 mile jaunt. Not too bad, barke pads need soem time ot bed in, not too much smoke for the first start up of the year. The new steering bearrings made a very noticeable difference in the steering. I will keep her on the charger for now but hopefully the battery is ok.
