    Not sure where you can get stock seals for $16 a set. All the online dealers wanted around $4.50 each for them and then you still have to pay shipping. I checked Z1 and they only had 7 in stock for $2.00 each but no backorder for the remaining one. I still had to pay for shipping on top of that.

    Figured $19 a set delivered was the best price I would find. I have seen the Viton seals on ebay for around $30 delivered though. Just seems that the OEM types held up for the last 30 years who cares if the Vitons last for 60+.

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

          I have used the aftermarket (K&L) ones from Z1 on a couple of heads with no issues... about half the price of OEM.
