Paper gaskets, they will seal better. Hint put some oil on the part then set the part on the paper and it will leave oil in its shape, which makes cutting the gasket easier. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Part of this is going to be cleaning, refinishing and repairing all the things. This will require gaskets. I can get a complete engine gasket set from Vesrah, for a pretty good price at $125 for all the myriad engine seals, but the driveshaft/swingarm/final drive seals are, well, "discontinued." Now, I see this as having two options, which do you folks like best: Option 1: Pulp Option. Buy gasket paper, carefully trace gasketed surfaces, cut gasket paper, install paper gasket with a little oil. Option 2: Gooey solution. Reach for the dreaded tube of RTV. Apply in thin layers, be very careful not to goop it into the gasketed cavities. Any other options? Much as I hate to say it, I'm inclined to go with the latter versus the former.... -Kurt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
