Barn Fresh episode 3 Refreshing the top end

Barn Fresh episode 3 of the series gets down and dirty as I start taking apart the bike starting with the engine and top end.  The engine in this bike was stuck from years of neglect so I needed to take it apart, clean it up, so I could make a list of the new parts and or machining that I might have to do.  So sit back, relax and watch as I begin this restoration of a 1970 Kawasaki F5 Big Horn. Below are a few pictures from this stage of the process. Leave a comment if you like.
