I found what should be the perfect one. if it will work I hope this one will do it. you can see the edge on the half I have, so the other half I don't have yet will look the same but opposite.

Your right there is an edge but with the luck I have had I doubt it will work for me.
With an attitude like that, no wonder shit always happens to you. Get your frame of mind in the right place and things will go better for you.
Just my take on life. Good luck with it.  :good2:

Good advise ! Thank you.
Your right. I need to learn to walk away sometimes and make it fun and a job.

It did not work. Head is back off and at a machine shop.
Should have it back today still.

3 machine shops latter I got a guy to get the broken bolt out. I finished putting it all back together last night. It started right up but had an exhaust leak. I polished the header pipes and did not keep them in order. After a little looking I noticed they were numbered. I just swapped 2-3 and perfect. I gave it a nice bath and rode it into work today. Still a little smoke from the oil I did not get to but by boot has 0 oil on it. Long journey to stop an oil leak but it was not too bad looking back. Not sure I want to take the head off again. I am over that.

Big thanks to Robert at RPM. What a great group of guys. Working on these bikes for me would have been a lot harder without them and there advise/parts.
