I've been looking on the internet and havent really found much. I need a top end gasket kit for my xb9sx. Mainly just the head and base gasket because i got an oil leak. Wheres the best and cheapest place to get them. Also what about rings? i figured while i got the motor apart i would change rings too. thanks

same price as harley or a lil cheaper and waaaay better is the genuine james gasket kits...

you can order them at any motorcycle shop.. lots of mechanics swear by them... i put them in mine after the motor rebuild and leaking problems after using stock harley crap... ill never run anything else...

as for rings i would say use the same brand ring as the pistons you have... ive never just re-ringed a set of pistons...

idk if its a good idea or not... someone else chime in on that part???

there just stock pistons so i need stock rings.

i've replaced just rings on sleds before and know lots of people that have, a harley motor is alot different i know but i dont see how it would be different. as long as your pistons are still good I dont see how it could be a problem, but maybe it is, idk.
