I just reassembled my bike today after taking what seems a long time replacing the oil plug cap (which was not the leak) and re-torquing the head (which was).  I installed the "Verslavy" also.  I did not bust anything!!!  It was such a blast turning the key and hitting the starter and have it roar into life!!  Went for a short burn and realized I had not set up my rear brake.
Want to thank all of you for your support advice and encouragement during my Introduction to Motorcycle Mechanics 101.
The bike seems to ride so much better, but I think I will be tweaking as i ride along.
