Just changed out my intake seals on my S1, I used James Blue Intake Seals instead of the factory HD ones. I'm pretty impressed by the design of the James seals compared to stock. A much wider sealing area where they meet the head and a lip that slides up against the intake manifold. They are also suppose to have a higher silicone content and not break down as fast. Took it for a ride and what a difference, didn't realize how bad the rear seal had been leaking.

Just thought I would pass this along in case someone else is getting ready to change their intake seals.
