Well, in a previous life I got to overhaul aircraft engines and then go fly behind 'em for an hour at WOT to break 'em in.... and if you can believe it, they paid me for it. 
Redlining a bike I put together is second place... relatively speaking. Close, but second.

The real magic is that I haven't blown myself up!
The show must go on!
A new second-hand oil feed turned up today and a packet of nice shiny fixings so I can crack on with the last few bits!
Last few jobs then will be doing some final checks before hopefully trying to fire her up!

Make a note that the lower connectors on that oil feed tube are always worked on with two wrenches, one to hold one and the other to tighten or loosen t'other. Those tubes can twist easily if you don't.
