Default 2006 FXD Rockerbox Gasket Issues

I have a 2006 Dyna with a fuel injected TC88 engine. I've noticed a small oil leak between the rocker box and the top of the cylinder.

I bought a Cometic Gasket kit from a seller on Amazon, but the bottom rocker box gasket doesn't line up.

I have the wrong gaskets, right? Also, does anybody know the correct Cometic part number for the gaskek? I have an email I to Cometic, and I'm going to call them Monday (it's Sunday as I type this), but I figure I would get the ball rolling here as well.

Wrongs gaskets.. Those look like they are for an EVO motor not twin-cam..

I emailed Cometic, but their email support person seemed a little confused about exactly what I needed. I found just the lower gaskets on Dennis Kirk, but after shipping, it was $1.00 cheaper just to rebuy the whole kit on Amazon. The delay convinced me to order a set of the Rockout inserts, so I'll install them as well. I ordered those via Amazon on Saturday, I had them by lunch time on Monday.

Do you have a dealership near you? Hard to beat Harley gaskets. And they're cheap.

The whole gasket kit from Cometic that has the o-rings, and all of the crazy stuff for the breather, and all of the gaskets is only $26.00 shipped from Amazon. I wanted to go 3rd party because the HD gasket failed, but if my new gaskets get here tomorrow and they are wrong again, that's the route I'm going to go.

Ok. I haven't had any problems with Harley gaskets, but have with Cometic.
Good luck.
