    I was given a 1985 vf500 from my girlfriends dad that is in good condition(5000 miles) aside from the fact its been sitting in his garage for 15+ years. Anyways I am working on getting it roadworthy and my problem is the carbs where leaking gas badly and I have them apart and the gaskets are shot. What I need is the float bowl gasket and intake plenum gaskets for all 4 carbs. Is there a place I can order these separately? I would prefer not to order the entire gasket/oring kit as that looks to be in the $140-160 range. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Justin

    You should be able to get some similarly sized o-rings from a local o-ring supplier, make sure you get Viton orings to resist the poop-gasahol.

    Try siriusconinc.com, they have just recently packed a kit for the 500s.
