Anyone have a spare Honda GL Gasket they can ship me overnight??

(Never Mind!) Anyone have a spare Honda GL Gasket they can ship me overnight??

Never mind-- I've just been informed that the gasket that goes on the exhaust pipe is a different size than the Y-gaskets... good thing I found that out! :thumbup:

The good news then is I'll call my local dealer and hopefully they have a replacement gasket in stock.

---------
Dummy me took apart my stock exhaust tonight to install a new pipe without realizing that duh, the gasket ain't exactly reusable :banghead:.

Looking around online, prices for shipping fast are horrendous, and even then, "fast" means nearly a week.

Anyone have a single spare Honda gasket on hand they can ship me, preferably overnight? Mail tomorrow to get Friday so I don't lose the weekend (Spyder's my only transportation)? PM me, name a price, I'll reimburse by PayPal or check, however you want it... ray:

THANKS!

I sent dave a PM in case he didn't read this...But just a thought...I might try wrapping the male end with exhaust pipe heat wrap tape , the kind you use as insulation ( because it doesn't burn/melt ) and slip it into the female end and put on the clamp...I think it would work for long enough to get a real gasket.....any thoughts Spyderlover's.....worth a try....Mike...:thumbup:

The metal one?

I've used screen door material and muffler cement in a pinch. :f_spider:

Thanks all for the advice. Now that I know it's a different gasket, I'm not worried about getting a stock one from my local dealer. Besides, I should have realized that at first-- it's nice to have the Goldwing gaskets in the Y gaskets, but no need for one at the exhaust pipe location, I'm fine using a stock BRP one there.

When you say 'install new pipe' ... do you mean a different exhaust than the original... or another original exhaust??

Slip on pipes like the 2 bros or HMF do not use a gasket when installing.... that is unique to the BRP original exhaust only.

Okay, now I demonstrate my complete ignorance... I was keeping it a surprise, but I sprung for a Yoshi R-77. It's a slip-on, which I guess means I *don't* need a gasket then?

Will I need to use RTV at all at the joint?

Like Firefly said.......... No gasket needed on HMF and 2 Bro's so I'm assuming you won't need one with the Yoshi. :thumbup: Now, put that pipe on and run it. It's still early yet, so twist the throttle and your neighbors will know you got a new pipe. !!!!!!!! :doorag:

Don't need the gasket then... actually won't work. Shouldn't need to RTV it either. Just clamp it on and go....:thumbup:

Thanks guys... I have no idea what I'd do without this place. Screw up more often, most likely!

I just wish I had the info last night-- had to schlep into work on the bus this morning with the rest of the herd. Back to riding tonight!
