That looks very tidy. I think you will have given a sigh of relief !

It`s also a good lesson in doing things low to the ground :??

I have got rid of the workbench,the garage floor is far better to work on!!! :idea:
I've just got to put a bit of metal filler in one or two places that didn't have quite enough weld ,then a good clean and resprayed,once it's back on the bike i don't think it will look too bad.

That looks a good job, well done! Also a lesson as TLC says, I recently took my engine out and after reading this I put a tyre underneath just incase.

I have a Z900 cylinder head spare. It is in excellent condition around the park plug holes no cracks. It has only one fault and thats a piece of fin missing on cylinder 2 so a longer bit of studding is needed. Not really noticible except with close inspection.
regards
Phil

Always best to do it right rather than take the easy way out. You can now bask in the glow of a job well done.
