I really need to add a mileage field to the project entry and a maintenance log. 

#dr650se #mileage 28398.6

buffalobought replacement bolts and a gasket for me and brought them by. I was able to get the header pipe reattached without incident.

Given the R1100S tire patching experiment failed and not wanting to risk not being able to make tomorrow's ride, I just installed the bolts to the right torque and will worry about safety wiring them another time. My suspicion is they won't come out during tomorrow's ride.

Steve Ionescu on Facebook, who we were going to meet for dinner at McGinty's, wisely suggested that I drill and safety wire the new bolts. I think that is a really good idea.

I'll run up to Heysers tomorrow to see if I can get the gasket and bolts.

There's been a delay on the vulcanizing cement I need to the R1100S patch, so I'm trying to set up a fallback in case I can't get the R11 back on the road in time.
