Anyone use the ones from Real Gasket? I searched it with no luck. I've used sealant before but it's a PITA to scrape. Bike seems to seep after a long ride in hot weather. Any input is appreciated.
 
I've always found the paper gaskets with a smear of blue hylomar to be sufficient. Needs a tweak after it's cured but easily removed with solvent too...
I write this awaiting new gaskets in the post and with freshly laundered clutch plates in the kitchen, tempted to try a greased gasket as the downside to the above is it's a struggle to dismantle after five years..

@EstuaryBoy why not stick your new paper gasket on to the primary cover outer cover side with permatex (or similar) screw the cover on loosely and let it set up overnight.

Next day smear some red ‘n’ tacky grease (or similar) on the other side before fitting.

Then you‘ve got a reusable gasket that stays put, and is away from any damage when you take the cover off to work on the primary side.
 
call Cometic Gaskets. They have Norton gaskets but don’t list them on the web page. I’m on my fourth use with same primary gasket. Their valve cover gaskets are the best I ever used.
