I got my bike back from the mechanic today with a new valve cover gasket and a new clutch cover gasket. No more leaking oil, and now I can reasonably consider taking a long trip with it! I had thought I might spend some time scrubbing the engine down after getting the leaks fixed, but it was way too hot today to do anything outside. When it cools off, I’ll install highway pegs on the bike’s much-abused crash bars and rework the headlight mount so it doesn’t wobble. I’m still thinking about mounting a couple of ammo cases as panniers, too.
