Harbor freight sells it as well. I 've used it to repair holes in CL alternator covers. Like was said, slight difference in color, but beats a hole or bad crack, especially since the part is hard to come by. Also repaired some valve cap hex heads as well, which were a little tricky.

No difference left to right on the bowls, however if you swapped them and the gaskets are not pliable, that could cause the leak, as there could be slight variation in the lip surface between the two. New gaskets might solve it. Nitrite material worked best for me. Other material had issues with eth...

Been busy. Bike back to almost top form, just cosmetic damage most people wouldn't notice. Sold it at a swap meet. Liked the bike, but didn't like how hard it had to work for the type of riding I do.

When I removed the head I vacuumed most of the top of one piston out of the bore, basically it had crumbled. I had to c...
