Looking good so far Al, nice work on the engine.  
In between other builds, I am currently working on the sister kit to this from Italeri - the 1:9 WWII Harley Davidson WLA 750 military bike - so I know how fragile these kits are and totally sympathise with you.

HaHa!! Yeah, I have the same problem Al, only in reverse. I'll get the Harley finished eventually, but it could be quite a while before I start the Triumph knowing what these kits are like. They're cool kits because of the subject matter and the only thing out there in such a big scale, but boy are they hard work, and I really don't like the cr*ppy vinyl drive chain that they provide, which doesn't even sit on the cog as it should do and which I think is a little undersized too - that will be a bit of a headache to put right!!

Yep the chain is a strange thing alright, got a bit more done today so should have a bit more on the diary in next couple of days.

Looking very good Al, really taking shape now and starting to look like a whole motorcycle. You must be pleased with how it's turning out?
Well done, looking forward to seeing the finished model.
