I like it. And no cover below the light, my 78E is the same.
Open Flue,
Flies flew,
Fleas fled.
Flies flew,
Fleas fled.
A flea and a fly in a flue
were imprisoned so what could they do?
Said the fly let us flee
Let us fly said the flea
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

One, two, three,
Mother caught a flea,
She put it in the teapot
And made a cup of tea.
The flea jumped out,
Mother gave a shout,
And in came Daddy
With his shirt hanging out!

Oh dear. Cabin fever setting in? And it's not January yet.
Spit on
Or spot, glasses on now
Oh wow!! My paternal grandfather used to recite this regularly!
Only difference was, he said it as:
"said the flea let us fly
said the fly let us flee"
Thanks for the memory!!
Didn't take too much to empty out the cover!
Hammer and mandrel with a bit of beating for the sleeves and not TOO much work with the slide hammer to pull the rocker shafts, going back in a bit a time or to like anytime you're trying to separate rusty parts. They really aren't that bad but if newer ones have the same dimensions I'll change them out.
Hmm, best way to clean up the cover? Think I'll fire up the Nesco with water and dish soap.

Amazing, just look at the state when you started, it's an eye-opener on what can be saved or brought back.

My 8 year old helped me 3D print a thumb scre knob for the idle adjuster. Much less fiddly when adjusting at start and as the bike warms up. If you want one, he can sell one to you for $2 + shipping 
(PEGT material and comes with an m3 set screw)
(PEGT material and comes with an m3 set screw)Cleaned the bike, took it out for a spin around Torbay. Tapped the mirror threads to 10mm as some strange unf holes and now 10 mm threaded with new mirrors. I've changed the handlebars to a European profile and the old mirrors were too short Harley mirrors) with no rear view being originally on the special swepted back wider bars.
Sounds like you're in the getting-to-know-you stage with each other? Fun.
Bit of Celtic friendship !
