Here's an O'Reillys link which shows applications: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/ROL0/EG24648.oap?pt=02411&ppt=C0022   Exhaust header to head flange gasket: ROL Manufacturing EG24648001 fits many Hondas and others according to O'Reillys link: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/ROL0/EG24648.oap?pt=02411&ppt=C0022 Gasket is round so needs to be oval shaped by standing on edge and tapping with hammer.   https://www.dropbox.com/s/akhyu7lxg49co77/ROL%20EG24648001%20Exhaust%20gasket%20formed%20from%20round%20to%20oval.jpg?dl=0   The gasket is round so needs to be stood on edge and formed to oval for the end of the header pipe. I bumped it gently with a hammer, turned and bumped again, then repeated until it was formed.   I haven't installed one as yet but looks 100%. Cost was about $1.80.

I will share it here as soon as a draft is available.   https://www.facebook.com/groups/klrmoto/

Yes, Moab is a nice place as can attest all the visitors we get everyday.  It is even nicer now that I am about 1000 miles away.  I ll be back in my shop on Monday.  Sorry I missed you.   Fred www.arrowheadmotorsports.com   [b]From:[/b] DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [b]Sent:[/b] Thursday, October 08, 2015 12:12 AM [b]To:[/b] DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com [b]Subject:[/b] Re: [DSN_KLR650] NKLR - South Dakota, Wyoming, then on to West Coast with detours     Moab. (Hi, Fred!) Arches National Park did not disappoint! This area is certainly ADV Rider and Dual Sport paradise (although we are on 4 wheels) and we did see a lot of them. I saw many KLRs, including one newer Gen example, mud splattered, with New Jersey tags. Didn't see the rider. Not to mention the high end BMWs, Ducatis, Dual Sports from full farkle mode down to riders like me, with a tail bag and a backpack. Moab turned out to be a nicer town than I thought it would be. We're now about 3 days behind the original schedule, but the only disappointed person in CA will be my daughter and family, she'll be there waiting patiently. We stayed longer than planned in Yellowstone. We moseyed south to Jackson and them we rambled down far western Wyoming, with some zigs into Idaho and some zags back into Wyoming. Last night we stayed in Provo, UT. We tracked east to get to Moab and tomorrow we decide how long to stay in Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Brice, and Zion. Someone told me not to miss Rt 12. From near Vegas, we will head to interior California on the best route. Mike --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
