My Star Head leaked with the bolts they gave me too, the bolts look sweet, but I had to replace them. I used the factory head bolts so I could actually tighten them, and added some antiseize while I was at it. They didn't have much room but once you get them tightened down they fit perfectly.

Thanks for the info. No issues with the head bolts leaking at all. I had considered using the other allen head bolts I was using on the 300 as they were a size larger but stuck with the ones supplied. They haven't leaked at all other than the frog wee No issues tightening them either but I do have a complete set of socket attachments for allen heads which provide a much better fit than any allen key. Also allows me to clip them onto the torque wrench.

I always liked the 2010 colors. Going to make my '12 black/red if possible, white is for kitchen appliances.

Haha Glenn,

I have to admit it was the 2010 models that sparked me to buy the Gasser. Then I saw the black and white and fell in love with the race model. I actually bought a 2010 Race over an early model 2011. The 2010 came with a few extra goodies. I think next time around I'll aim for Black and white again and maybe only a little red here and there. Or maybe Black White and Gold.

Red is the most durable color, my old '07 still looks good. White is a PIA to get clean and looks like crap fast. Plus, I had a guy stop and ask me how I liked my Husky!

Pretty sure I wouldn't handle that comment well out on the trail.

Everybody mistakes my red GG for a Honda.

She's a beauty ! And also one lucky gal by having an owner always pampering her with upgrades
