OK, get it lined up about as good as I can get it.

Excellent!

Got her all put together using sage advice offered by those with more know-how.

She rides great!    Cannot remember going almost one month with no riding before - started to get a bit grouchy, like um, ... , like Cher 

FYI using paper towel with brake cleaner works on the old gasket material, but changing towel with scotch brite pad works a zillion times better!

Ha!     Well played!  Did not see that coming.  At all…
 
Glad to hear everyhting is back in one piece and running properly.  No left-over parts I take it?  That's when I know my "repair" work is complete… couple of bolts sitting on the garage floor.  And inquiring minds want to know; Did you have to resort to the bigger hammer?

Big hammer was used, to gently tap hex keys into heads to avoid stripping.

I know it can happen as I have done that on that very bike
