  1. From experience I find this sheet baffle pack is way better than the loose fiberglass stuff, my bike suffered from noise and poor performance using that stuff...never again http://yambits.co.uk/exhaust-baffle-packing-p-839.html
  2. might only need new rings and the ring grooves cleaning, dont rebore without proof of wear to the bore!

    Love it john, i've never seen one before, are they rare? that radiator is HUGE!
  9. how is it obvious? you will have to take the head off to examine the piston crown to see if it's been rebored, scrape off the carbon and look for a stamped number, you would need to order piston and or rings at this same size assuming the bore isnt worn out. I have used quality head gaskets twice (the black ones) with a very fine bead of silicone manifold gasket just around the circumference of the bore on each side and had no issues, dont plaster it on all over and thick or you may find it difficult to remove the head next time. Oh and dont forget to drain the coolant first, yes i have heard of people filling their crankcase with the stuff!!!
