One thing Harley does pretty well is gaskets. Not really any more expensive, either.

My primary is a chrome plated after market replacement and I suspect it's not flat. After years of leaking I bought a James primary gasket and no more leaks. I don't have experience with any other premium gaskets but would buy a James again based on my experience.

Stock one is fine now. Can be reused several times.
