I popped my inspection cover off to to check & adjust my primary chain (XB9R) and thought to myself, self, you oughta pick up a few spare door gaskets...

Call the shop and get told, first that they don't have any, and that the gaskets are no longer available by themselves. I'd have to "order" a new inspection cover / gasket pair. $19 to get a dollar gasket...

Is this a case of a changed part number and a misinformed clerk? I'd really like to have a couple of these on hand... Thanks

Unless that's a new change, they're definitely misinformed. Not 6 months ago I was able to get a new gasket by itself. Cheap too. Try American Sport Bike. $1.25 actually.

I bought one at my dealer a couple of weeks ago for about $1.50 or so. You will need to go down there and show them on the micro fische the part you need. The way it is worded they want to pull the wrong part.

You must have spoke to a Harley parts guy. He is talking about the gasket kits for Twin Cams. Buell XB gaskets are still available single.
