I am looking for the gasket that sits at the top of the header pipes, at the top of the bike, not on the bottom...

The ones that are in it LOOK like their rubber...These seem to be made of some kind of metal. I like the price of those ones, being all in a set, but I just want to make sure I get the right thing.

The second ones are correct. And I would add the seller to your "favorites" list. I've picked up a lot of brake and carb parts from him, and been VERY happy with the products he handles. JMHORay Matteis

The seller georgefix is in Florida, and the parts with shipping are less money. I KNOW they fit and work like OEM, as I've used them. The first site you listed is in Canada, and shipping will probably take longer, with customs and extra money involved.
You make the call.......

Header gasket question
I just bought a 79SF with a Kerker pipe. Looks like I'll have to remove the pipes to change the filter. Do I have to replace the exhaust gaskets every time I change the oil??79 XS1100 SF - name TBD - possibly "Divorce Maker" Kerker 4 into 1, K&N filter in stock air box
79 XS1100 SF - parts (for now) - "Divorce Maker II"

Hey 65Olds,
Tod/Trbig has reported that he has removed and replaced his exhausts several times reusing the old exhausts gaskets. They are a crush style, and depending on how crushed they get when you put new ones in, there might be some crushable distance when you put them back on again. An exhaust leak can cause running/tuning problems, even damage to exhaust valves, even damage to the head!
They are faily cheap, like a set of 4 for a few bucks....relatively cheap insurance!? YMMV! That's the price folks have to pay for KERKER performance!

Why, I just oiled the pipes under the filter!Looks like I'll have to remove the pipes to change the filter. No, really, I did! I could just get the filter cup out without pulling the pipes. But then, I guess I'm just lazy.
But if you DO pull the headers, change the gaskets. If you buy a large supply, say 20, you may be able to get a break on the price.Ray Matteis
