replace all gaskets and o-rings whike im in there
I need to replace the rocker cover gaskets on the rear cylinder of my 08 xl1200c. I wanted the metal James gasket but JP cycles did not sell them individually just as a set. Now I have have a replacement for every gasket and I ring top end. Should I replace everything, front and back cylinder, while I'm at it? Or just replace the two main gaskets on the rear cylinder?
Seems like a no brainer to me, but wanted the opinion of some guys who have done it before before.

I responded to a similar question acouple of days ago, I replaced both gaskets on the rear but discovered that the rocker support box gasket did not need replaced. I didn't waste my time replacing the support box gasket on the front. I just replaced the rocker cover gasket on the front. I used this Cometic set from J&P, it was high in quality and so far no more leaking. You can see the leak where the gasket is leaning outward and there is black dirt inside the gasket.
