[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 116327, member: 2708"] I had the rubber band on the SS, couldn't seal it. Someone suggested grease for that. Tried that and it made no difference. Bob Newby Racing belt drive solved the leakage and slippage problems and knocked about 8 lbs off the bike. Fortunately the Vincent has a proper primary cover and gasket , much like the MK3 Commando. The paper gaskets do work, but they are fragile. As Mike pointed out, the Cometic can be reused many times and it will still seal even with considerable imperfections in the mating surfaces.
