Three things;
1 when you say the head gasket do you mean the camshaft cover gasket ?
2 is the sound there when the bike is running in gear on the center stand?
( you could present a load to the engine by using the rear brake whilst running on the stand )
3 if the sound comes from the engine it would be there even when the bike is stationary, which seems not the case according
to what you mention, and i have learned that the engine runs best from the factory, any work done will go downhill from there, the amount of downhill would depend on the quality and care of the work done.
And i'm with popgun's assessment.
Lovely photo by the way!
