Hi, I'm pretty sure I need to replace the rocker box gasket but I'm a little confused on which one I should use. I've read the forums and people are saying to use a sportster gasket and others are saying to use the new blast gasket (metal/rubber).....so, when I go to my local Buell dealer here in Houston, what should I ask them for? Thanks!

I would use the metal gasket and just make sure you do a good job cleaning everything. Good luck.

Rockman, the sportster and Blast gaskets are probably the same thing, if it eases your confusion any.

The Blast rocker box gasket has been upgraded 3 times over the life of the bike. The first was paper, the next metal, and the current is rubber/metal. If you tell your dealer you want a "Blast Rocker Box Gasket" they should give you the latest one.

Alternatively, several dealers are sponsors of this board, and will happily sell & mail you a gasket if you post in their threads. I'm partial to my dealer but any of them would be glad to help you.
