    Hey Carl, Gerry here. Halfway through and the Dream is looking so Damn Nice. Video is great for the viewers and this build is really coming together. After watching this series I feel as though this rebuild is not beyond me. Your a Great Teacher. On to the second half.

    Beautiful bike !!! I appreciate your attention to detail. I notice you are wearing a nicks garage shirt which leads me to believe we must share a common interest in both 70s bikes and E bodies.

    Great Video. The resolution and contrast is perfect with whatever you did for the filming of this episode. Now you must go back and disassemble the bike and redo the previous 12 episodes so we don't have to wear our sunglasses. Just kidding. I can't tell you how much I have learned just watching these 13 short videos. After rebuilding a few motorcycles I can now understand how you have reached the point where you tackle this job. Now it's my turn. Do you know anyone selling a wrecked Z1r or even a KZ650 Custom that I can submerge myself into for the next year or so looking for all the goods to bring her back to life? I can't wait for your Summary to find out the history of this bike and how long you have been collecting what you need to restore her and what it cost to restore her. Your series is so inspiring. Great Job. Gerry

    Hey Carl, at 1:01 you took the brain waves right out of my head. Did you use a magnet??? OCD's think alike. Perfect. Nice going spinning the engine to open the valve with the cam/valve/thingy in there to keep the pressure off the shim. WTG!!

    Hello, did you start the engine? I see that the upper gear is not original, I used the same one in my rebuild, does the distribution sound similar to a cricket at each turn? Thank you

    Buen trabajo Carl!!!
    Yo sigo avanzando con mi proyecto de restauración igual al tuyo.
    Tengo una pregunta: que pintura utilizaste para el motor y que marca?
    Gracias por el video, me está sirviendo de guía. 👍🏼👍🏼

    I'd like to see the shims seat that it sits in. Does it snap in or is it just gravity allowing the shim to sit in a ring recess until the pressure of the lobe is set back against it? Just curious.

    Hi Carl, are my eyes playing tricks on me or did you assemble the barrels over the pistons dry without oil lubrication? If so yikes man. cheers G
