Perhaps now the Ninja is even more silent.

I made me a deal out of a old valve cover, cut the one side out out fabed it a little bent it a little drilled a hole or two and it keeps the oil off the exhaust and the smoke out of your face.

just curious is rtv required when i put the new gaskets on...i got some rubber ones...

If you use RTV the gasket may slide out of place when you tighten your valve covers or even hours later. If you have Fel-Pro dark grey colored gaskets they are called Felcoprene because they are a mixture of cork and rubber. Fel-Pro says they are better than rubber or cork. I think most users agree. Useing 3M 8001 weatherstrip to glue the gasket to the cover is also the most common procedure. Just read and follow the directions about removing and resticking the gasket.
