Me again went to put the valve cover gasket from my set and it's not formed to my cb500 k2 cover not even close tried to use it but just won't stay in even with  tape 4 into 1 has one that is the correct shape but of course they are out of stock. Every where else they look like what I have any suggestions of where to get one?

Wrong side up, or wrong side front, or is it one for a 400, looks like but is smaller....

Maybe I bought the last one.... You can sometimes find that 4into1 will sell items on Amazon that are listed as out of stock on their website.

Mine was m or or less a big oval and not formed for the two slots? Between 1and 2 3 and 4 it was from a cousin image kit. Ordered a genuine one from David silver . Will try the super tac if I still need it.
Thanks
