Yours is a superlative attention to detail and finish. Watching you work in such a focused, relaxed expression of craftmanship is a joy. I have been binge-watching your work on this project and it has surprised me that the fitters who have previously worked on this machine have produced such a carelessly finished product. Much of the welding looks like the welds were left unfinished. Slap happy would be a suitable description of their effort with a disregard for quality assurance by the quality assurance supervisor. "Near enough" seems to be "good enough" for the inspector (If there was one), especially on those parts that are unseen after the final assembly. Beautiful work to provide a remedy, Allen. .

I know Allen will sort this bike out and I look forward to seeing it run as it should. Stay safe all. Old Bloke
