No new work done on the bike due to bigger commitments with our home. I never got my order in, however, I think my solution for the gaskets issue is to make my own gaskets. If I do it this way, I can save money and learn something new. I may do this for the exterior covers and possible the engine casing, but internal gaskets, just buy them one-off.
Making gaskets is a useful skill to have! I'd highly recommend a set of gasket punches so you can make the holes for fasteners and such, but the rest can be done free hand.
It's been a while since I have posted, but now things are getting more stabilized and I can work on this project again.
I picked up some fiber/rubber gasket material from NAPA. It's only 8.59 a roll and the roll is 2 foot long by 1 foot, so not too bad. I started making some gaskets last night and will continue to make some tonight. I had started making some gaskets already prior to this, mostly RTV gaskets, but some of the gaskets need to be the fiber/rubber material. Will post some pics soon.
