That's great! Hopefully that's all it was and your test ride tomorrow will go well.

Must've sounded pretty loud without an exhaust!

Just wanting to give an update. Bike made journey home successfully. Other than a small couple of oil leaks she's doing fine. 1500+ miles down and going good.

Thanks again everyone!

I agree. Get a good valve spring compressor.

Just found a tool for removing valve seals without a compressor, Looks like it would work great and there are comparable tools for less than this one!
