Cool, thanks. Yeah one reason I'm so pissed is because this engine is spotless, not a drip of oil from anywhere. If the head gasket was bad, this would just be an excuse to replace it, but everything's pristine. The bike has been burning oil, so I guess it is a good chance to check/replace the valve seals.rays650cafe said:Athena top end gasket set for now, more as I determine what it needs. Shouldn't need to much though the motor runs really nice. Even if it is a little beat up on th outside. I'll be happy if I get the oil leaks slowed down substantially if not actually stopped ;D

Qawls said:Hahahahaha, that's fucken funny I'm sorry. You must of been pretty frustrated, funny stuff. Can you set up a go-pro in the corner of your garage, it would be perfect I'd pay a subscription to watch it an all!

Smoke_eater said:Hey DV,
I have the exact same bike as you, colour and everything. I even paid the same price for it haha. I've been cruising around all sorts of sites and came across your bike. I signed up for this site just so I could reply to your thread. I have a Q about your handlebars.
In the picture with the stock bars on, they still run through the fuses and fuse cover. Then when you have thbe tracker bars on, it looks like they have a new mounting bracket. Is that custom? Is it rasied above the fuses? I love the look and am wondering what you did.
Thanks,
Maybe I'll post some pics of my ride later.
