    Well done Brandon, I nearly have mine back together so hopefully it starts ok too. Your tip about the selector drum was very helpful and I also found another video on the clutch which showed the order of the different plates. Yours is running like a dream. I’ve had the red exhaust on mine too. Seems normal.

    I WANT ONE! I just spent a lovely evening watching you rebuild this motor. I have ridden Harleys over here in Australia, but you never get a fully American machine. The solution to that was Victory Motorcycles, yet they are gone - and very sadly too - because they WERE 100% made in the U.S. Now I look at Indian, I am pretty sure that they are built in the U.S. and crated over. But I would love to rework a wrecker, tho I would probs take the engine down to base metal / lacquer. Thank you Brandon. I'm subbing you now. Cheers mate. Ride free.✌💪
