Gaskets for the primary

[K-9 Kanook]

Hello Big Dog bikers. I am new to the forum, but have had my K-9 for about five years. I love everything about it. The only thing is finding someone who is Big Dog knowledge that I trust to work on my machine. I ordered a gasket kit for my primary. I finally decided that it was time to get to know how to do the general maintenance of this bike myself. Upon doing so, I ordered a gasket kit and went to get busy with it. I opened the inspection plate and noticed that that things didn't look like any of the pictures and videos I found online. Mine has an inner, almosty square gasket that isn't included in my set. The gasket is also not rounded, but more square in nature. The gasket also is more of a rubber material with a gasket imbedded in it. (see attached pictures) Does anyone have experience with this, and where I would find an inner gasket?

I’ve reused the square O rings many times.

You can a light bead of RTV as well if you prefer.

Thanks for the welcome. It’s nice to be a part of something special.

Thanks for the advice. Mine are still in good condition, but can the square gaskets be purchased anywhere if on ever breaks? Also, do the hard cardboard type gaskets work just fine the square gaskets? I apologize for what might be no braine questions, but a lot is at stake on this trip. Nobody likes breakdowns? I really value your expertise.
