Was - NG head on an MC

[siambisg at uchastings.edu]

sorry to cut in here, but perhaps some can indulge another tangent...

What implications do the injectors being in the NG intake manifold have for the removal process of the NG head itself?  I know the upper IM must come out, but it's hard to survey below that with the bumper & aux rad present.

So generally, compared to a TB/WP job, what level of complexity does removal of the NG head entail??  I may have a head gasket leak from the recent radiator breakdown(haven't pulled plugs yet, but all hoses/WP seem secure) and may need to evaluate if i can fix this or let a shop do it.

thanks,
