Default Purchase advice needed

I am going to do my heads on my 14 FLHX. Can anybody suggest a retailer besides HD for the top end gasket kit and .30 Cometic HG?

I having been searching EBay and sent emails to the sellers, but no response making sure it's the correct application.

Try a Drag Specialties dealer. You may want to look at the Cometic website. I'm pretty sure a kit for '05 & newer will work, verify it. You may be better off buying the gaskets you need instead off a kit, if you do '99 and newer will work.

CYCO gaskets; look on Ebay or call direct. About half the price of OEM and good quality.

I believe this is the correct CYCO but you might want to call to verify.
