[QUOTE=baddog;20184188

I am trying to recall ANY of my H-Ds that ever went down due to a head gasket; I can't.[/QUOTE]

My days of riding like that are long gone truth is head gasket leaks are common on many harleys that are ridden a lot, most people don't even notice them, except that it will backfire a bit.

It happens because of the air cooling mostly, the rapid expansion and compression of the metal.

Bikes are my primary means of transpo I actually have a Suzuki Burgman 650 that has almost 100 K miles all I have ever done to it are brakes tires and fluid changes....chicks like riding the Harley the first time, after that they always wanna go on the Burgman more comfy and quieter and burn guards on the pipes so no heat there...
