Default 2008 vrscdx issues blown head gasket twice

hello to all . my night rod special and this has turned to a nightmare ! need some tech help.

had low coolant ,mechanic filled up.
head gasket blew 2 miles later and compression was being heard from the front head.
had a new one installed. all fluids done again.
50 miles later, noticed that i was losing coolant again thrrough the side of the water pump cover where there is a little opening .
we changed all the gaskets for the water pump.
the leaking stoped there and there was coolant coming out of the side bolt covers...
then again, the head gasket blew and again losing compression and collant through the gasket and exhaust !

any ideas why collant comes out from the casing bolts under the water pump ? why it blows head gaskets ? the fan works fine. it never overheated on the gage...

the cooling system was only ment to take so much pressure and temp. if the head gaskets are blown they will pass that compression into the cooling system as well as the heat from direct combustion. sound like the heads need to be replaced, time to get that big bore package down. this is just my opion i could be wrong...
