Yep, got it while I was out of town for a bit. Thanks again. Ppal headed your way right now...
From what I saw earlier it looked like it was coming from the seam in the head, but I had not thought of that. I'll double check today when I get...
Ok. I'll take note of this. Thanks.
The half tank bra? Well, I looked for one on ebay for....about 3+ years. No joke. Never saw a single one, so I'm not even sure anyone made them...
from their site: Cylinder Head Gaskets : Multi Layered Steel (MLS) Single Layered Steel (SLS) Sandwiched Material Steel Backbone...
Yep. I think the shop guy must be confused after taking another look at the bike. There is no base gasket. Carry on.
I had one shop just tell me I'd also need the base gasket on that side as well. His thinking was that once you release the pressure on that head,...

Thanks for all your insight, Jrodrims27. Right now the only thing I'd be interested in buying (if you had an extra) would be the rear head...
Wow. Just got out the svc manual. This is a huge job.
Hey! That's my bike & cowl there! If you like I'll check and see if that part number is stamped somewhere on it... Good luck in your search. I've...
HG-1057 is all front cylinder part numbers, and HG-1058 is all rear cylinder part numbers? Am I guessing correctly?
Good read on this topic. Once again Invisiblecities, you have done your homework. I'm jumping in here b/c I've noticed that the white dribble...
Yep. I'm the OP and I ended up buying a RWB one that came with the blue bags, so no painting needed after all.
Looks good. Hang on to this one, huh?
Yep. I see some of the same things you did to the last one. Sleepless nights, huh? Do you miss any of the others ones too, or just the 800?
