And one other thing, I can't find any grease fittings on my swing-arm. How did you grease yours?

I did a marathon wrench session today and got the bike completed to the point where I was able to take it out on a short shake down run.
So far so good. I need to finish the plastics, especially the piece that goes in front of the radiator. The fuel filter I got is too big for the fairing, so I need to go to the bike shop and get a smaller one.
I did the valves too and they're loud (tapping noise). Is this normal for this bike?

Tapping from valves is not normal. Maybe some are incorrectly adjusted, or something else is making the noise - CCT ?
Glad she's running, tho'

Update: I got all the farings on and washed her up, so today was the maiden voyage. I took a photo that I'll post later.
The bike is exactly what I was looking for--a larger sport bike/ sport tourer. It looks like it makes most of the power up high, so once it passes it's "trials", I'll have to see what it can do on the open road.
The tapered bearings were worth the work and are VERY smooth. I got a V&H Supersport to replaced the rotted Yosh system, but I don't like the sound at all. Oh well--choices are limited. Front brakes are OK, and probably could use a follow up bleed. Rear brake seems good. I did have one snaufu when I ran out of gas because I had the petcock vacuum fitting hooked up to the wrong nipple at 6 o'clock. DOH
When I ran through the shopping center today to get gas, the old girl still turned heads.
