She's back in black
Well, I did a crappy rattle can gloss black paint job on my bike so I could get it worthy for my Dragon trip next weekend.
After shimming the front isolator to cure a TT vibe, she's running wonderfully. I do have a very low speed vibe that is a little ugly but as soon as I goose it the vibe goes away. I can live with it.
The pics are self explanatory.
2nd pic...I pulled a holeshot out of my workshop. Kind of caught me off guard because I hadn't ever done that with this bike. I did adjust the belt tension. It was kind of loose. Another smile on my face.
I'm happy I got all my issues worked out.
The front end feels really nice now with the Ricor Intiminators and H-D Type E 5w oil.
I did have a little issue after reassembly. My left front running light was working at half power. If I hit the turn signal it would blink ok for a few seconds then really fast. Also, the left turn signal indicator was stuck on.
Of course I tore back into the wiring. I couldn't find any issues.
I pull the bulb, check it, clean the contacts and replace. Wouldn't you know it works fine now. Guess it just needed to be reseated.

Much more old school, love the black over the white. Nice job. Enjoy the Dragon, send pics when you get back.
