Rings
I have KB's, too. Running .001" clearance. That tolerence leaves plenty of room for breakin. New rings are a good idea.....just keep an eye on your plugs. I let mine warm up a little longer than most before heading out. Give those cylinder studs a chance to equalize before you hit her hard. I wait to temp. then just do what I want. I'd also keep synthetic out of there for a while. Let those rings seat for a few thousand miles. Just ride her like you're going to once warmed to temp.
Also, if you do hear some noise in the primary at some point, check the compensator nut. I don't know if the shop that did the crap work before I took her down was at fault, but it did come loose - only finger tight. Could be the extra torque in there now. Seems to be a common issue with a fresh rebuild-plenty of threads here for info.
Good to hear you're happy. That grin is worth 10 rebuilds.
Ride safe.
