Yes, yes it is! And it fired right up after adjusting the points and dropping the float bowl.
It sounds kind of tinny in the video - lot's different from the backside. The noise from the drag pipes was probably bouncing off the sheet metal sides and rattling everything. I need to put the timing light on it. I think it's a little advanced. However, it's a two-man job unless you can stand on your head. You need to shine the timing light into the inspection hole to see the mark on the flywheel on one side of the bike while rotating the point plate on the other side.
Now that I know it's going to run, no pressure on taking it for a ride in a couple of weeks on my birthday.
I took a ride yesterday morning to look at this old crane. The owner's wife called me to take a look at a problem with it. I had no idea what it was or what I could do prior to showing up, but she thought I might be able to help. When I got there it became obvious rather quickly that I wasn't going to be able to help. The owner knew that as well. In fact, he knew before I got there. I think he just had me come over to make his wife happy. Not a problem. The lady of the house used to help out with fundraising for the gym when her son was boxing. I owed her one. Nice people both of them. Wasn't out of my way and I got a chance to look over an 80-year-old Bucyrus-Erie dragline and an invitation to fish the pond.

it's worth one million $1,000,00. dollars because it's so nice. I have a "near as new" Sportster 883 2.2 black tank with perfect gas cap in the back of one of my closets that I am going to get out today while going through organizing my crap. the opening theme of Here Comes Bronson playing in my head.
Well, you hang in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrYIqXet01k&list=RDjrYIqXet01k&start_radio=1
