If you haven't added oil I'd recommend you install them correctly. ............lm

I put new ones in following the parts fiche.
Do you think I should take them out, reverse them, and pray it doesn't leak?

The open one goes on top of the screen and against the lower engine case.
You don't need to worry about not having the open gasket as long as yours fits and doesn't leak. .................lm

The parts microfiche shows the gasket with the circular cut out going on the screen, and the irregular one between the screen and bottom plate.
I am still confused about it as mine had two circular gaskets.

Thank you, and you're right - no chance of parting out at this point! :-D

FYI While riding around I found a significant steering dead spot that will need new bearings. I ordered roller bearings that are supposed to fit with just an additional spacer, and will probably do the work this upcoming weekend.

I started on my corroded fuel tank - trying to decide whether to finish it myself, or farm that work out to a fellow Ohio restorer.

I ordered "bullet" electrical connectors to start cleaning up the wiring. I'll take that opportunity to go through every connection with dielectric grease.

Little by little...

Yea. I'll replace them eventually. They work great but are too angly for the otherwise curved aesthetic. Have any recommended sources?

Also, how do I determine which fork seals to buy?

Oh heck yes - you da man!

What an amazing resource, this honda305.com. I was reflecting on this yesterday, having been involved with forums since the heady BBS and Usenet days of the early 80s...
