So my new CF chin fairing don't quite fit.
I'm having tabs welded onto the braces of my D&D this weekend.
Will I need a new gasket on the header?

I have never replaced the header gaskets on many header swaps/remove & reinstall. Never had a leak either. Besides, they are a pain in the @ss to change.

Why are you removing the header?
There is no gasket between the muffler and the header, if that's what you're asking.

They CAN be a pain in the ass to replace.
I heard that it's more easy if the new ones are put in the freezer overnight.
I haven't tried this trick yet.

Hell I dunno I remember my pipe came with a gasket and wasn't sure if I'd need a new one.
Apparently I'm retarded or something cuz there is no gasket in between.
Maybe it DIDN'T come with a gasket it's been a while since I put it on.

It's not really a gasket.
It looks like a ring made of steel wool.
cylindrical on the outside and angled on the inside.
You probably still have the factory ones in the head.
