    I wouldn't go higher than 32. You could damage something.

        Awww... Come on. Can't ride it? I lived in Rochester NY and when things got cold and icy, we just put steel studs in the tires and kept on truckin.

        Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

          I am still riding in "Winterpeg" at 0 or minus temperatures. When the ice and salt start is when I put it away for winter.

              I think what you read was the re-use of the valve cover gasket, which is done often. Always get a new OEM head or base gasket.

                yeah I did the base, cause it had crumbled into nothing when I took it off.
                Yeah I just decided to roll the dice on the head gasket... was trying to save $100 . I also read a bit on guys re-using them... but yes it the best idea to just change it.
                Hopefully it holds.

                Actually my valve cover gasket is leaking, I broke it mucking around yesterday.
