Thank you for writing this up--this should hopefully save someone from a lot of headache in the future if the Vesrah gaskets work out for you....
I am all ears on ideas for the next paint job! So long as yellow is the primary color. Once the mechanicals are sorted out, I'll begin worrying...
Knowing you're having similar issues helped me keep an even head about it. Misery loves company, right? Plus I set myself up by trying to be super...
You guys were right about the alignment on the forks--they were just all tightened up wrong. This was as good as I could do by loosening the...
I'll be honest, I still can't figure out who the manufacturer of the bodywork is. I've been visiting this thread on VFRWorld for a decade trying...
Clymer manual says 6-9ft*lb for "Cylinder Head Cover"

Not sure you'll get lucky, but you might take some solace in knowing I'm seeing a similar thing. For the first 5-8 minutes when I fire my bike up...
I wanted to see the plastics and other bits on the bike for encouragement since it's been a while. Disassembled, cleaned, reassembled the petcock....
I'll send you these for the price of shipping which isn't going to be much. Because I'll just send them from the office, and I've got a couple...
I have to remind myself of that--and how long it takes to repair drywall--pretty much every time mechanical things don't go my way. If any pieces...
Awe dammit man, I'm sorry to hear that. That's a gut-punch to read after following along with how much work you've put into that bike. I'm sure it...
Finally got the carburetors into a decent synchronization. It's not perfect, but this was honestly the best I could do in the afternoon. The...
