So i took the bike out for a pretty easy 15 mile ride on side streets tonight to help things seat in properly. Everything feels great, it is actually running better than it was before i tore it all apart. The engine feels like there's more compression, which there probably is now(will do a compression test to verify), and it has more power and feels more responsive. Things felt a little loose and sloppy before, but i guess there was a reason for all that, with the chain needing to be replaced, the rocker arms worn and broken, and the cams pitted and worn, as well as a cracked valve. It feels like a brand new engine in the bike now!

I still need to sync the carbs, and adjust the idle when i can find some free time in the next week or so!!! Everything should be running at full capacity pretty soon. It feels so good to have it back up and running. I can finally stop driving my car to work everyday and start commuting on the bike again
