Some Gasket scans - Mostly 1981 GS 750 L http://www.andrewvanis.com/Vehicles/...asket%20Scans/

graph is 1mm with 1cm darker lines. The larger scans are in sections.

eventually I'll CAD them to laser cut. tired of paying $30 for a valve cover gasket

This is a really good idea! I've got a top end gasket set coming in for my 650 and I feel like some scanning is now in my future as well.

cool. Maybe we'll end up with a gasket database

FWIW, I use 1Cm square with 1mm grid since its easier to put into the CAD program (typing fractions is a pain)

If you need more than one for a bigger gasket (i used 4 for the valve cover), - for alignment - I find it is nice to cut one on a slight angle through the grid along the mating edge and then also cut the corners on the mating edge - that allows you to match up the grids easily.

I like to put the straightest edge along a grid line to make sure everything lines up. On bigger floppy gaskets like the valve cover I had to tape it in several places to make sure it was laying flat and the correct shape - the grids helped line everything up.

its also avail in black though I prefer the blue since it prints a little lighter on my b/w laser printer - https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/c...e-A4-black.pdf

make your own grid how ever you like https://incompetech.com/graphpaper/gridlined/

Added the cylinder gasket which also fits all these
