Where to get parts?

Normally they are a 1 time use, they have a small amount of silicon adhesive to attach it. I have never been able to reuse, you could get some gasket material and easily make one
I have a feeling you'll be kickin yourself 
if you re-use a gasket and it starts drippin..

You wankers don't reuse your primary gasket? I had mine off an on probably 10x before it wore out. The 05+ you can reuse no problems it's a recessed gasket it's designed to be reused. The paper gasket on the inspection cover I've reused with just a dab of silicone.Make one? This ain't no 1996 ford truck were talk'n bout wanker! What kind advise is dat?
Now an 04 is a different ball of wax would be replaced that's not a recessed gasket.

I have an 05 ridgeback, I'll still order a new set but I was just wondering if anyone ever tried to reuse the gaskets, thank you for your input on this
Having one on hand is good especially since you don't know the shape it's in but on 05 you can reuse it absolutely. It will wear eventually.
Shit I've had that cover off so many times even took it off in a parking lot a few weeks ago. I say take it off do your work and put it back on if it leaks you need a new one. Not the end of the world just drain and replace gasket later. ATF fluid in the primary is cheap.
But then again a little oil leak doesn't ruin my day...some of these guys it's the end of the world..

Since this bike is new to you and not sure what's been done...While you are in there I very highly recommend taking the clutch hub nut off and cleaning it up and red loctite with 150-160lbs. This is known to be under torqued and will cause all kinds of problems.
The clutch hub nut is left hand thread.
Search the forum there's how tos and service manuals available.

I also reuse my primary cover gasket but I thought he was referring to the inspection gasket only. He didn't say he was taking the primary cover off, you guys read too much into this. However if you do remove the primary cover and replace the gasket your gonna have some fun getting that new o-ring to stay in place.
