I don't know if it holds true for all bikes, but at the start of each riding season after Winter storage, I change my Derby cover gasket after fluid change and clutch adj. When I got the Derby cover gasket it came with the 3 o-rings together in one package. I'm sure it was included with the cost but what the hell.

The first set of o-rings needed changing but the second set did not.

Funny you should say that. I'm sure my H-K would refuse to accept a BM disc.
