Alternator cover replaced, stator needed some insulation so sourced a mate with some insulation paint. Let that set for 2 days (cause Im Irish "to be sure to be sure"), threw all that back on (no didnt use torque wrench), changed oil n filter with some engine flush to clean out any nasties, said a Hail Mary or 7, turned her on and she runs :twisted: 30 minute idle will replace oil n filter again after she cools down. Im farkin stoked :kuda: :kuda: :kuda:

Big Thanx to Wattie, Madkaw and Red_dave for sharing beers and help getting the front end sorted yesterday :kuda: A few laps by myself and the chief test rider saw some adjustment was required. Now have her to a point where its ready for Marulan and CSS in the weeks ahead :twisted:
