Common questions

What is the benefit of the 'bead' design?

The bead design on this paper gasket provides an additional sealing ridge that compresses to create a more robust and reliable seal, helping to prevent oil leaks from your primary cover.

Can I reuse these gaskets?

No, paper gaskets are designed for single use. They compress upon installation to create a seal and should always be replaced with a new one each time the primary cover is removed to ensure a proper, leak-free seal.

Will this fit my Harley Sportster primary cover?

Yes, these gaskets are designed for Harley Sportster primary housing covers. We recommend using our Shop by Bike tool to confirm compatibility with your specific model year.
