Is there a "show off your engine" thread?

Wow, some cracking examples here guys.

I'm just in the process of completing a top end rebuild and while I had it apart I started thinking about painting but I needed to keep the costs down. So just cleaned up best I could. Probably not worth of being in this thread though...

I knew once I'd started I'd want to do it properly, vapor blast etc, and then couldn't do the engine and ignore the frame and so on. So back together now, I'll ride as much as I can his year and maybe pull it apart next winter and do a full restoration.

My G. I'm not the greatest photographer and this is just a pic I had on hand.

It is sweet to see so many primo engines, it is like having a motorcycle time machine.

Clearly not a GS, but I got a little carried away with the scooter engine..

Smart man. My rebuild started as replacing a leaking head gasket. Down the rabbit hole of "while I'm in there..." and 3 years later, I'm zinc plating hose clamps and polishing clutch cable ends. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but the point is that the bike is down and I've been wrenching instead of riding since 2015...
