Piston and valve synchronizing question

OK, so the pistons have moved around while inserting in the barrels, but my cams/valves are right where I left them on disassembly.  I now have to get them synchronized so valves and pistons don't meet.  My shop manual doesn't seem to cover this.  Any clues appreciated. Oh....RGS1000SFC

 
I sent you an e-mail on this

position the left hand piston as in left when sitting on the bike at TDC, this is Cylinder No 1 on a Laverda triple
that gets the pistons into the correct position
rest is just a matter of lining up the timing marks on the cams when you install them

 
There are some marks on the camshaft chain wheels..but the best solution is to find true TDC and a degree wheel with the correct specs for your cams..go slow and you may need to be creative timing the camshafts..it is worth the effort.
