Aluminum flecks in exhaust header

I have an 02 polaris classic 550 f/c that i recently aquired. i've been running through the works to make sure it's ready when the snow hits but i was cleaning cylinder heads and i noticed some oily residue in the exhaust header along with some metal shavings. i was able to fish a couple out on a wooden dowel and when i passed it under a magnet, it didn't stick so im assuming its aluminum. there isnt alot but im wondering if it's cause for concern. the cylinder walls are almost perfect except for the clutch side cylinder has a faint wear line on the exhaust side but not enough to cause the metal flecks. also the previous owner commented that he thought it needed a head gasket but i couldn't find any evidence of that. i'm waiting on a compression tester in the mail. currently starts fine and runs well. fires on both cylinders starts on first pull. so do i need to looking into cylinders/block problems?

SRV won't move

I have a 85 SRV and it just won't go over 4500 rpms, which isn't enough to make it move. I just replaced the clutch with a rebuilt one I bought. When I put it on and tigthen ed the clutch bolt, it just turned over the engine towards the very end of the bolt. I tried adjusting and cleaning the carbs but that did nothing. It idles okay but the choke and idle screw do nothing either. Starts within a few pulls everytime though. What is the problem!

IQ seat swap to an evolved chassis

I got a 95 Indy 500 handed to me and I want give it some modern look with a few modifications one being drop brackets and a seat swap. My question is what will have to happen to put an IQ seat on this evolved chassis. What modification to the shroud and so on. I'll post a picture I found on google but it just has seat put on stock tank which I'm not a fan hence the post.

Protecting the oil line

On the Jag, the line from the oil tank comes really close to the fuel pump. I run a larger diameter fuel line from the fuel pump outlet to the carb and secure with clamps. I do this since I'm pulling the carb every so often and removing the line.

I'm looking for a way to protect the oil line from rubbing on the clamp. I'm thinking of getting some larger diameter automotive line, cutting it in half and securing it to the oil line with some zip ties.

Any other thoughts?
