Iced green tea is my summertime beverage of choice, I dislike beer altogether.
TRITON! ...at last...

There should be a law against iced tea, iced coffee is the way to go 
I hope these pistons don't see the light of day for a LONG time (except on occasion through the spark plug hole, of course)-
It's too hard to make out from this photo (autofocus kept focusing on the outer edge of the fins), there is right near 3/16" gap with the second-thinnest silicone o-rings atop the pushrod tubes; should squash in place nicely-
A little anti-sieze on the M.A.P. stainless stud threads-

Cleaned up the rocker shaft ends, slipped the o-ring tool on, then the o-ring, a squirt of oil, then tapped the shafts home easily-
Hmmmmm... I think I'm capable of turning out a better-centered "tophat" spacer than whoever is making these for M.A.P...
In this shot, you can just see the tophat spacer underneath the wierd allen fastener that screws onto the center head stud; all special M.A.P. stuff. You can also see the secondary breather system tapped on the left exhaust rocker inspection cap and blowing through a one-way reed valve like the ones I make for the Norton Commando-

Most of the oil lines are done, notice the cartridge type oil filter just to the right of the return line (black tube w/ alloy cap)-
Simple clips to steady the carbs (one each)-
Coming along nicely now that the top end is done-
Oil cooler up front is mounted with the supply line connected, just lacks the return. I've got a design for a head steady cleat that I need to fabricate tomorrow...

It sure is coming along nicely now Paul and it has been a huge amount of work you have put into it so far 
Thanx, Dave.
Looking really good, Paul. You do such great work!
The punchlist is getting pretty short now...
Got the oil cooler & oil lines finished. Path is: oil tank to engine main pump inlet, (through engine circuits) scavenge pump outlet to oil filter inlet (cartridge outer surface), to filter outlet (from inner core), to oil cooler, back to oil tank return connection with feed line to rockerboxes. Depending on the performance and flow, I might have to go to a high volume aftermarket oil pump.
Engine looks pretty decent, I still need to tack on the patent plate-
Finally, it looks like a bike...
Not much left to get to the start-up point; main thing I'm missing is petcock nipple fittings, and I need to re-orient the kickstart shaft to engage at a higher angle so I can get in a decent kick. Sucker has mighty good compression!

A very interesting project. Looking really good GP. The first start up is going to be very rewarding.
It's been a pretty one-sided project up 'till now; I finally turned things around (literally), relocated the rearsets to coexist with the kickstarter, pipes, and linkages, and snapped a quick pic of the primary side of the bike-
I'm thinking the same thing. I'm working on the original cover, probably going to do some drilling and cutting...
Okay, now you can see the details better in good light.
Still not running, but very close (this evening).
Some people say the unit engine looks "lost" inside the featherbed frame, like there's too much empty space; I disagree, I think it looks nicely proportional.
This is pretty much it, except for patent plate, muffler mount tabs and maybe a screen on the timing window.

Looks really good GP. Plain primary cover does the business....less fussy. Needs a front mud guard. Now for the roar into life !
Wow! That looks mighty good.
Even if there is a lot of empty space I don't think it looks out of proportion. It really is looking great well done GP
wow i saw It started and its simply reached to its finishing and i m still searching for my 21's nacelle grommet
