Big update. Finally got bike back together a few days ago carb running smoothly sounded great with the muffler mod. Changed air filter cleaned air box. Oil change new spark plugs. Replaced front turn signals. Etc etc. anyways got it running smooth and happy.

Sunday decided to take a test ride see how it’s doing and about 30 miles in a loud pop was heard and the bike promptly died. Took it apart again yesterday and found the timing chain snapped and in the ensuing chaos 4 of 8 valve lifters are blown off some in pieces some whole but the screws holding them snapped. Found 3 of them meaning 1 has worked it’s way in parts or whole into the lower motor. I see 3 options none are particularly great. 1 replace motor. 2 replace bike. 3 overhaul engine. Sadness. My riding season may have already ended.
