Sounds like a pretty big job bud. I had to replace my cam chain last spring. If I had a lift and the knowledge I would've done an endless chain but in the end I settled for a split link and top end kinda job. Bike flies like s**t off a shovel and idles like a kitten so I can't complain.
This was the biggest engine job I had ever attempted so I had a hundred questions for the old salty dogs on here and I got a concise reply every time. You obviously had some prior experience. Well done mate, enjoy the bike. Post some vids/pics if you can.
