I purchased a 85r that has been resleeved to a biggger than stock bore. 73mm. I removed the head and I noticed that the gasket overlapped the bore. I am assuming that a stock gasket was used. The bike ran fine with this gasket. Can anyone tell me where I can get the correct bore gasket or can a stock gasket be modified or should I not worry about it and go back with a new stock gasket. I was told that maybe my sleeve was a pro x or something or other. The gentleman that I bought the bike from did not know a great deal about its history. Thanks

If you know the bore size you can get the gasket from any of the major shops. I'm pretty sure that the one my buddy gets is from FTZ but I think Duncan sells them too.
