Hi, another question. I just restarted my bike for the first time since parking it for a small overhaul.
I'm the guy who asked a month ago about 1100 pipes on a 1000.
They went on just great. All the mounting holes matched up and the cross-over pipes just needed a little oxy-acetylene heating to reshape them forward of the rear tire.
BUT! I didn't check the exhuast seats in the head for gaskets. The old rusty system didn't leak so I figured that the copper gasket rings were still up in the head.
One cylinder leaks, so is there anything I need to know before I go out and spend money on little copper rings or try to reshape a header to seat better? Thanks for ideas, Jim
