If the head gasket blows out, it's best to call someone to haul your bike home. Don't just keep on riding like this guy did.

      Ouch! Nice repair job.  Did you talk him into going with Cometic head gaskets this time?
Anybody who tries to tell you that the press is the enemy of the people is just that.

I've got a friend who did the same thing after blowing 3 of them. Said F it and kept riding that night. Ended up with some S&S heads, which was honestly the right decision for him.
I agree with billbuilds, nice repair.
If the government gives you everything you want,

Been there done that... :emoGroan: . Used to have to carry gaskets in my saddlebags. Old aluminum was giving up after having them bath tubbed.
