The more likes and SUBS this video and channel gets, the more the motorcycle gods will be in favor of Big Red running!!!! :)

I have the same bike -- and, in exactly the same colour. I really enjoyed riding this bike -- powerful, reliable and comfortable to ride ...even on long trips. But, I have had it parked in my garage for many years, while I took care of my parents in their final years. I'm looking forward to giving my bike a complete 'going over' next summer; and, your videos will be a great help to me. Thanks very much for sharing your rebuilding journey and your considerable knowledge!

😟 The cilinder head seems out of parallel with the cylinder bloc ? !? ! ? ! ?

Looks pretty straight to me and is keeping compression, but I am pretty sure that the valve cover gasket is toast :(
