Anyone know where i can get these in oz?

Not in Oz Marty - but I'm having these made in the uk - will be a couple of weeks before i should get them. they are a sandwich of two steel plates with a fibre filling - will take up to 650?C of heat. They crush down slightly to about the same as the original copper rings. The Suzuki ones look OK - but, apart from the cost, the thickness may give difficulties to some when initially fitting the exhaust roses.  I've been running them in one of my bikes for a while now - no problems!They'll be ?1.60p each - with reductions for multiple items and a non exorbitant dispatch cost - will give final prices when I've got them Regards - Phil

... ask your Guzzi dealer - the exhaust gaskets of the old Moto Guzzi V7 will fit your Laverda triple also.

What?s wrong with using original copper rings?

Honda four gaskets are smaller diameter. I used one in an emergency once by hammering it down over the tapered neck of a glass coke bottle to stretch it. I found the bottle on the side of the road. Litterbugs can sometimes be useful

Marty, I have heaps of Laverda exhaust gaskets if you need some. They're the usual copper + fibre type (non-asbestos). I doubt that Australia Post will get them to you before you leave on your Tassie trip, but I can give them to you when you're here.

They are for Peter Barton 81 Jota original copper ones leaking badly sucking oil through the guides. These thicker ones should sort him out

I've used aftermarket  copper Honda Cb 750 Four (K0-K7) exhaust gaskets on the OEM Laverda header pipes. They fit without any issues. I think Cam may have used a CB 350-550 gasket, which has a smaller inner diameter. In the past I also used Honda CB450N gaskets, but these seem to have vanished from the aftermarket supply sources.

So I over crushed one exhaust gasket - Stack them and eventually still over crushed them ;o)

I was told it was a Honda K series 750 gasket by the bloke who found it in his tool box and donated it, but who knows? You could be right.
