Pretty sure it took me an hour to get through this thread, but damn. Nice work man. Really nice. Impressive that your engine was in better shape than the new one. Really speaks volumes to your maintenence.

Excellent! I'm still putting my 748 together after buying it with a spun crank. I didn't take anywhere near that many pictures! LOL But, I am taking video of the whole thing.

I've had to take a couple of bikes down that far, and it is very rewarding when you hit the starter button and it actually starts!

Congrats! Looks great!

Not me, 10 minutes...auto scroll ftw! I'm glad that you are happy and I sincerely hope that you don't end up regretting it. You're a stubborn man Jared, but I can honestly appreciate someone who holds out for what he wants. Btw when you talk about the rebuild costing $1100, I imagine that you aren't figuring in the possibly hundreds of man hours you have in this bike now... I hope that you keep it on two wheels from now on buddy, we're supposed to go riding this Summer!

That's insane. Really fcking insane. I'm happy for you man. It's cool you that were able to keep some of the original engine. Also, nice pics and story/explanations. I had fun following along.

I didn't look at the time before I started scrolling through, but I'm sure it took me about an hour as well.
