Looking for 2 sets of the ring type gaskets which go between manifold and head, been to local bike shop, OUCH!! £4.95 each is that right?? Anyone found a cheaper supplier?

I used this guy on eBay, £6.80 for a set of 4 plus a quid to post them, here:

I haven't fitted them yet as I can't be certain that's where its blowing from.

Its not as easy to hear where its chuffing from in a Fury as the exhaust is enclosed.

Need to use a length of fuel hose wedge in my ear and point it at the suspect areas...

cheers, I had found him but wasn't sure if they would be ok, seemed too cheap in comparison??

Also found some on M&P(here),
Exhaust Gasket Copper 44x37x3.5mm (Product Code: 528466) £1.29 each?

WTF

Are OEM stuff so much better?

I think I found the M&P one's too but IIRC once you add the postage on the guy on ebay is cheaper.

I haven't seen the OEM Yamaha items but the ones from the eBay bloke look similar to the OEM Honda ones I bought when I had a Blackbird Fury.
