686 coolant reservoir exploded need advice

Hello,

I have been having issues with head gaskets. I put a OEM on. I didn’t realize the fan wasn’t working and I think it got too hot and blew the head gasket letting coolant into the combustion chamber. Took the plug out blew and little coolant that was in there out. Got the fan working but now my coolant reservoir exploded when I was out for a test ride. So I’m guessing it’s letting pressure through the opposite way now. It exploded right when I got on it a little bit. I’m guessing the head gasket is toast. I think I need a Cometic head gasket that is thicker. What would be a good size to replace it with? I have had several issues with the standard thickness gasket. Please let me know what size I should get Cometic Has a million sizes to choose from?

For the love of god, please tell us you're not using the niche cylinder. I might have a stroke.

Meaning? How can you correct this?
Random question, but did you get that with the Quad Logic sticker already on it or did you put it on there?
Put it on there
Pretty crazy. I live like 15-20 minutes from their shop in MN. Went to their open house randomly a few weeks ago and saw a couple sweet 3 wheelers.
