Nice! I think you should black out the rest of the front end next including the headlight bucket. But until then, enjoy riding the bike.

New rings and bearrings, oil pump. cam guide plate, along with new countershaft components, the old flywheel and connecting rods were damaged because it was ridden a lot with the counterbalance out of adjustment so they replaced them. they welded the flywheels.
