My first motorized bike, few issues so far

OK, use Permatex copper spray
Spray it on both sides of your aluminum gasket.
That stuff is good stuff I used it in Ford Tristar college 15 yrs ago .

Ya gotta be careful and not spray it on too thick. Because the over flow will ooze down the cylinder walls and gum up the piston rings.
I don't use it on my M/B. I use a fresh copper gasket
But I do use it on my M/C muffler gasket, to hold it in the Cyl while I put on the exhaust pipe
Permatex copper spray never really dries and stays tacky. Until it gets hot then cold then it's dries like glue

Copper sheet will cut fairly easy with a hefty pair of scissors, it's not that hard. The hardest part is the bolt holes, it's handy to have a hole punch for them.
