Title: T120R gaskets
Post by: johnj on May 24, 2006, 03:52:04 PM

Hi

I have a 1968 T120R and am in need of some gaskets.  Someone is offering me some, but is saying they are for a 72-73 model.  

Will they be that different/no use at all.  

thanks

John J

John,
Depends what gaskets you need really, rocker box base or inspection cover are no good, nor is the head gasket if it's for a 750, pushrod tubes are different. I would get the correct gasket set for the bike and use the other one for spares when required. Don't buy cheap gasket sets, buy from a reputable trader.

Thanks for the advice and the link.  I'll check it out.

I've got the rocker cover gaskets, but its the head gasket I need I think.

I have a leak from there that's spoiling my otherwise immaculate bike!
