    And if Rick didn't have one, you could just call Cometic and they'll make one for you.

    Or split a stocker, a genuine one fromRM will be best for sealing though.

    Splitting R6 gaskets is bad, mmmkay. GSXR, yes, R6, not so much. At least in my experience - every R6 gasket that I've seen split blew eventually. I've never done it, but the results of doing it have shown up in the shop.

    Anyway, the OP bought the gasket, thanks.

    Are you feeling better, Charles?
