Wow...I wouldn't consider any tear down of my bike "friendly". About
four hours of work (including reassemble), $30 head gasket, valve
cover gasket, breaking a camchain link and taking the chance of
breaking something. Hell, you have to remove (vert) or drop (sloper)
the engine to get the head off.

Can't say I know anybody that would be "happy to oblige" legal or
not. It's a tremendous pain in the ass and expensive. I assume the
friendly person paid the protest fee to Dennis.
