realgaskets...AWSOME

fantastic product, Every gs rocker should have one. Higly recommended, thank you real gaskets.

Great stuff, indeed, but those who have a bike with the tach drive in the valve cover instead of the head should think twice.

The extra thickness of the gasket might prevent proper engagement of the tach drive gear. Problems have been reported.

i am a fortunate one. I bought the real gasket and like it but i don't have to worry about the tach gear not lining up as others have had that issue.

Yea... did not work for me, broke the old tach cable, and a replacement cable. Also trying to get it low enough to engage the gear mixed with the gasket for my model having 1 bolt hole missing on the gasket left me trashing it with this springs shim check.

Not worth the extra $$ in my experience.... They work well the first couple of times but certainly don't last forever

didn't even consider the tacho gear engagement. Tach works fine still.
I imagine this gasket lasting more than afew adjustments but we will see.
Im still pretty happy with it even if I can't spell "awesome"

All depends if the drive is in the head or the cover. GS1000 has it in the head so no probs. I think it was some of the 550's that had the stripped tach gear issues with these gaskets.

I reckon you'll get 4 remove/re-fits before you'll need to change it....
