Copper rtv would work best i think. Its reasonably high heat there, and i dont think your gasket will work without some kind of goop due to the warpage over time.

another update.. I now have rear turn signals!!! Thank you to Kid Jedi and Tiger for parts. I also ordered, from Boats.net, a side cover gasket, brake stabilizer bolts, 2 cotter pins. 90 degree fuel filter. and some badges for my viagra 920 tank.. Should be here end of the week. I have a starter seal ready, thank you AK vision and LHpaw! I still need to get a carb rebuild kit. carb dip. I have a fairing on hold, thank you Inane, I need to get that paid.. couple of weeks yet.. Then its tires and paint!! I hope to have it tagged and ready to ride by the time it gets cold again, fully faired, with heater accessories!!! I also started polishing the aluminum.. by hand. I hope my hands recover!! Im thinking of getting a few more tools and a pedestal buffer and opening a small biz for polishing and maybe plating... Got Wheels? Side Covers? I'll be ready soon!! CHEAP for you guys and the Virago Tech Forum guys. I owe ya for getting my bikes running in spite of me!
