I disassembled my bike and began the paint prep yesterday, and sprayed the frame again this morning and then set my sights on the engine. Fully installed the Bob Newby belt drive, sorted through all my parts to finish the top end assembly, and took care of a bunch of detail assembly. I am excited to get to it after the weekend and begin final assembley on my frame once the paint is cured. All these parts will start looking like a motorcycle! Rumor is my tins will be back from paint next week also.
Funny thing about a build like this in such a short timeframe is that every day you can alternate between confidence of finishing with plenty of time to tune and test, then later that afternoon feel overwhelmed at how many details are left! Evidently some of us even talk about motorcycle parts in our sleep. Like the Man in Black said, one piece at a time......Cheers, Kyle

Lots of open primaries on Triumphs just look butchered to me. That's beautiful! Nice work.
Thanks! I wanted it tasteful and the reason to run it open is simple, full access to the clutch basket while racing!
Where did you get the Bob Newby unit I am looking to install one myself
I got mine direct from the UK through Bob Newby, sucky website but contact direct, they are helpful and shipped fast.
Thanks man, I appreciate the help.
Kyle the open primary looks excellant did you machine it yourself ? and how ?
