Common questions

What is the benefit of the bead on this gasket?

The integrated bead on this paper gasket creates an additional sealing surface that compresses during installation, enhancing the gasket's ability to prevent oil leaks from the primary cover.

Is this gasket reusable?

No, paper gaskets are designed for single use. They are meant to compress and conform to the mating surfaces, and reusing them can compromise the seal, leading to potential leaks.

Will this fit all Sportster models?

This gasket is designed for Harley-Davidson Sportster primary housing covers. We recommend using our Shop by Bike tool to verify compatibility with your specific model year and ensure a perfect fit.
