I'm looking around for 4 new float chamber gaskets. I've found them priced between 15 and 20 bucks EACH. Is that right? I cant beleive they want 80 bucks for 4 paper gaskets. Tell me i'm doing something wrong...please

surely you have at least one good one. Trace it on gasket mat'l and make you own! They are reusable if they are in good shape.Skids (Sid Hansen)

Thanks for the link, they are out of stock but i used the part number to search for more. I did find a couple places that had them for under $5 but every one of them were out of stock. I wanted to swap them out but I guess i'll just re-use them.1980 XS1100SG SpecialComment

In the 30 odd years I have had XS11's I have yet to replace a float bowl gasket. The old ones come off and reseal just fine. I know some will get wrecked but so far (touch wood (I am tapping my head)) I have not had to replace any.2-79 XS1100 SF

you could use the printable gasket templates from here and print your own gaskets off onto gasket paper.Brian
