Any ideas appart from stripping the head off and replacing with a new one (more than cost of the bike).
I like the bike, it's a good Europe tourer as long as you keep a thermos full of fuel for emergencies. I'm gutted and want to know if something can cure my bike's ailments. Oh and my wallet

If you need to go the replacement route(I too, think it could be welded), the heads from the early GSXR's and the Katana GSX1100F are the same part.
