Default Rocker Gaskets? which ones?
Quick question.... note: my bike sits OUTSIDE.
(2007 Dyna Streetbob)

So I need new Rocker Gaskets, they are leaking.

Do I just buy a set from harley?
Or are there some better options?

Thanks.

From my experience comparing Cometic gaskets to halrey gaskets, especially the rocker cover gaskets, Harley's are way nicer. Go to the dealer and gets those.

When I did my 106 the cometic look thinner and flimsier to me, so I tossed them and went to HD.

I had a leak with a Cometic. Bought a Harley gasket, as HD Bobber said, way nicer steel sandwiched in ribbed rubber. No leaks.

HD should be fine, but be sure to clean your old ones off completely so you have a nice surface for the new ones.

Tip: as long as you're in there it wouldn't hurt to check/replace the breather filters as well.
