I know it's been discussed to death (even recently)....but help me out here:

Bike is a '99 X1. It needs intake seals and some new exhaust gaskets. Exhaust is a Force system.

What are the best ones to get of each, and why? I think I have heard the general sentiment that James Gaskets are easiest to instal for intake, and Screamin' Eagle for exhaust. What say you?

I go with SE exhaust due to cheap price.
I've not yet, thought will be in a week, replaced intake gaskets. Likely go HD for them as well

I got mine from Al at American Sport Bike.

Great site sponsor.

Thanks, I buy as much as I can from the likes of fantastic sponsors such as American Sport Bike, Drummer and Bumpus. they, in return, provide me with the best customer service I have EVER seen!

However, there must be more opinions as to which gaskets to use??

Go with the screaming eagle exhaust gaskets, regular intake gaskets work fine

I actually prefer the regular HD exhaust gasket which has a bit of a taper to it while the SE is flat. Obviously from above, others experience has differed.

They are pretty cheap, get them both and decide for yourself.

Are there different sizes? I assume SE doesn't make them specifically for Buell, what do I order them for?

And I agree on getting multiple sets.

Use the SE with the exhaust gaskets with the Force system.

Don't ask me how i know

You BUELLers talk about exhaust gaskets and all you need is this PART NUMBER ...

GASKET,exhaust port PN 17048-98 ...

EXHAUST ASSEMBLY Class 101 would also help, just PM me if you want a copy ...

Thanks for all the input. Ordered stock intake gaskets and both stock and SE exhaust gaskets from Al.

Al said he doesn't have much experience with the Force pipe, so I sent him a pic of the ends and he said that type usually works best with the flat (SE) type.

What, you want me to install new tires on my intake?

Or do you mean Sil Glyde? ; )

I assume this is what I want?



Any issue with just slathering everything up with it?
