My bike is in pieces right now as I'm checking my valve clearance/installing my Motohooligan airbox. Has anyone re-used their head gasket after doing head work at all? My bike has 10K miles on it and the only gaskets I can find are over $150 for a full set. I'm going away for a few days and wanted to know if I had to bite the bullet and buy a whole new set of engine gaskets or if anyone has re-used theirs with no problems.

Have to ask why did you remove the head?? Only the rocker cover needs removing to do a valve check.

Blah good call. Sorry I've been triple checking several different instructions on adjusting the valves for a bucket/shim set-up (never done it before) and for some reason thought there would be a gasket in there. Thanks Colonel!

Also doesn't help that I'm doing A LOT to the bike at once. Everything from the valve clearance check to O2 sensor eliminators and the torque limiter removal mod. I have to wait until Tuesday to get back to it though stupid vacations...
