I am going to need to get into my GL650 soon and would rather use the better gaskets I remember he had for the turbos. Peace & Light >^..^< ..........

I email him back, but haven't heard from him yet... Well, I have a spare naturally aspirated head. Does anyone have a used CX650 turbo head gasket they could send me and I will match it up?

I haven't got access to the two 650 versions you're talking about, but they may only differ in the latter of the two statements above - I would think both head versions would have 8mm inner headbolts.    Report
