I believe it's just the rocker box COVER gasket that usually leaks. The original gasket wasn't thick enough for the groove it fits in. The new gasket is updated and thicker.

For the ceramic coating, google "Jet Hot" and see if they have a vendor near you. People seem to have very good results with them.

It will not have a "new" part number as, like the belts, it is not the way HD do things. The best thing to do is to make sure the dealer is giving you the "newer" version of the part. Maybe Al could help on this.

There are actually 6 gaskets just for the cover. 4) are just for the screws (washer type gaskets) P/N 63858-49, 1) inner and 1) outer cover gaskets P/N 17362-078, and 17695-078. These numbers are from my receipt , so double check when you order. I'm not sure which is inner and outer part number.

here is the best thread that i could find. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=3842&post=2311181#POST2311181
i updated it just a few days ago.

i'm still waiting for my headers and muffler to get back from the coater.
apparently there is more to ceramic coating than one might think.

google search 'powdercoating' and that should get you to a local shop. most powdercaoters allready do or can do ceramic, since it is a simialr process and anybody can order the ceramic powder.
now there are better coatings rated for above 2,000 degrees on the market.
