What type of gasket do you want to make, and what do you want to seal? I've used YamaBond on engine cases with good results. But be warned, that stuff sticks like death!

Permatex Form a gasket and RTV will work for lighter stuff.

I have a drag race car. An air cooled VW. These have a lot of similarities to HDs.
For that I use almost exclusively Loctite 518. Case halves, intake sealing surface, cylinder barrels to case, oil pump body to case...It's anaerobic, so it doesn't set until the parts are joined. A thin film is all it takes.
The downside is I've never seen it in a store. I typically order it on line. A big tube lasts me years.

GM markets an anaerobic sealant under the Delco brand, but I believe it may be made by Loctite. I still have a tube or two in my toolbox at work. I'll check tomorrow.

Right Stuff would be fine around the coolant ports and on the ends. It'd also do as a t-stat gasket if you didn't have one.
