Default Intake seals for my sportster.

I am swapping my s&s carb for a cv, and i am looking for a good place online to order all 3 seals for the manifold. Mine seem dried up and hard.I saw a couple of sets online, but people said they had problems with the one between the carb and manifold. Im working too much this week, otherwise id go to the dealer.
Thanks.

If you buy a carb kit off the internet, they come with the two manifold-to-head seals and the manifold-to-carb seal.

I ordered some seals by cometic. I was trying to find quality seals i could order online but I read reviews on some that weren't so good, I'd have gone to the dealer, but I don't have a day off for a while, and the idea of having them dropped in my mailbox seemed more convenient.
