I always used HD gaskets, except for Cometic MLS for the heads...

I used to buy them from the online HD Dealers for convenience... I always keep spares, as I maintain my 3 HD bikes...

When I was working on my heads, I needed to replace the HD breather assembly gaskets between the breather bodies... Of course, HD doesn't sell the gaskets, just the whole assembly...

That's when I discovered the Cyco Gasket web site.. I had already used their spring cam tensioner replacements, but found their extensive gasket offerings for HD engines. Not only did they have the gaskets for the HD breather assemblies, but the gaskets they sell, have the exact same markings as the the HD OEM gaskets I removed from the breather assemblies...

I've been buying the Cyco Gaskets online ever since.... never had an issue..

I don't like to keep much in stock . Rubber is going to deteroiate over time. Since I have multiple bikes, if I am tearing down an engine, I'll ride another. I have stock of lots of other stuff.
