I hadn't seen that.
Just as I suspected though. There's an awful lot of bits in there.

Just looked at the dvd again, i didnt realise the rear crank ran opposite to the front.
Is this normal on all v twins?

Presume you mean the cams rather than the crank ..... and that will be because the cylinders are effectively the opposite way round to each other - Intake through the TBs in the middle of the V, exhaust of the front cylinder at the front of the front, exhaust of the rear cylinder at the rear.
Simples
BTW what DVD are you watching
