That's not that bad considering what you get. I'm sure some spendthrift badwebber's will hook you up though.

A few recent engine kits for japbikes I priced recently were way more than $130.

$130 is cheap for all the stuff you get.

There is no gasket for the case.

MAKE SURE YOU USE A GOOD ALUMINUM RTV.

I recommend Honda Bond, best RTV I have ever used in my 13 years of turning wrenches.

Try Cometic's website. They make Buell gaskets, good quality too.

Hey Squash,

How hard is it to do this job? Did you do it yourself and does it take a ton of experience to do?

James Gaskets are a premium brand of gaskets.

I don't know if they have a Buell Kit, and I doubt they are cheaper, but from the one I have seen, the cam Cover Oil Seals, they are certainly better than the stock Harley gaskets, and they have excellent customer service.

Here is their web site:
