Need a set of float bowl gaskets for my CB550K0 after renewing float valves. Where`s the best place ? Thanks, Geoff.

Same as 500, probably cheapest to get O ring kits from Gerben

I used 68mm x 2mm Viton O rings. They were a tad big, but got them in the groove ok. Came off ebay.

Have had the float bowls off my carbs a few times, never renewed the gaskets and has never leaked, guess I'm lucky ?

Is 68mm O/D or I/D ?
68mm x 2mm is 68mm I /D x 2mm section, so is 68mm I /D x 72mm O/D.
