Got some in today. Brilliant! They are the metal with coating type. Same material and type as the small lock rocker cover gaskets. They can't tear and will almost certainly be re-usable sever times. I'll post up a pic but they just look like a RC gasket.......

Over here the importer has given them a non Guzzi part # but they aren't pricey. If you can't find them on line I can send you a pair.

Thanks Pete, a close up photo of the gasket will be helpful.

Will let you know if I can't find them.

If people in Oz are getting gaskets from a dealer ask specifically for your dealer to order that part number otherwise you'll probably get the shitty earlier ones!

I reckon it's even clevererer
Looks like it does roundies & squaries, only 32 years after the event !!!
Could've saved a lot of stock for dealers in that time, Guzzi themselves never bothered, more coin in selling more stock !!
Try one, let us know

I hadn't even thought about that. We're off to Long Flat for the weekend but I'll dummy 'em up on our hungover return!

I don't think so Wayne. They are now listed specifically for the Breve/Norge/Sport/Bellagio models which are all twin plug engines. The plugs are beneath the level of the rocker covers.

Unless they are super thick, or you grind away some of the valve cover, the inner head bolt cap will interfere with the cover.
