just happy that I finally have the valves adjusted, carbs seem to be running perfect, kn filter cleaned and re-lubed, and the sync is all done. valves are still noisy, but I THINK they are within reasonble noise limits. I adjusted them to the wide end of specs and double checked that I could not fit the next size bigger feeler gauge through them. on the up side this is the best I have ever been able to get the sync now that the rain has stopped I get to try out my handy work. was running awesome before so now with the sync it should really be smooth!
