    77-79 550 valve cover gasket - where can i get it?

    hey guys, i have a small oil leak on the front of my valve cover gasket i believe...so i want to change it out. i was only able to find FULL gasket sets on ebay...does anyone know where i can get a GOOD valve cover gasket for my 79 550 8-valve?

    i checked CRC2 already, they had 750 and up only.

    Adam,

    Check with Ryan. He told me he found one for his bike. I think he found it at Real Gaskets. Check this thread:

    Here's a link to their site:
