Beautiful work Burgs.Nice to see something that far gone rebuilt to such a high level.My 650ss was also in tough shape before it's restoration, with one conrod poking out thru a broken crankcase half. Fortunately it wasn't the half with the number.Apparently in the 90s the bike was sold to a 17 year old. He stored it outside under a tarp all winter then fired it up in the spring. Everything was corroded and one slide stuck wide open. The revs went to the moon for some time, then the rod let go.The Ontario Vintage club restored the bike very nicely.They are lovely bikes, nimble and fast.Did you have the crank dynamically balanced?Glen
