Where to buy Blackbird exhaust crush washers / gasket?
Can't get them from my local Honda dealer - they don't have them in stock or even know when they are getting some more. They
didn't give me a price but thought they were a couple of quid each.
Rang another place (Sandy Bike Spares - found on eBay) they want £27.99 for a non-Honda set of "gaskets" - look like thick (copper?)
washers to me rather than gaskets.
Anyone know someone good to buy these from - I ideally want them before or by the weekend.
Cheers!
PS I know I just missed out on a set for a fiver - I was stoopid and didn't realise I needed them - DOH!

Do you know what diameter they are? I got a set for the ZZR from my local dealer, for a couple of quid each. If you can find the diameter, then it
may be worth ringing round the other dealers for some the same size.
Edited to say that they are thick copper washers, not paper gaskets.

Answering my own question but could be useful for others, I just ordered some here, £8.87 inc VAT and post
http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/cgi-bin/dss2-cgi/ProdSel.pl?cat=1%20Genuine%20Spares|CBR1100XXV/XXW%20BLACKBIRD|CBR1100XXV-XXW%20:%20Exhaust%20port
%20gasket
The other place must have been quoting for the wrong parts.
Sorted.

Going to blatently hijack this thread now, but has anyone got any links to a discount Kawasaki spares dealer? Fed up of paying main dealer prices for
stuff!
Cheers

Yes I know I missed out on a set - as I stated in my original post! 
Still sorted now as under £9 for a set posted. I was worried when I heard £27.99 but I think they were quoting for the wrong thing.
