And the reason the local hardware doesn't have them is that they
are.......METRIC!!! C'mon guys, it's an Italian machine and is 99.99%
metric. The American stuff just isn't going to fit the same way. Check
the web for suppliers of metric O-rings or call MG Cycle or any other
Guzzi dealer and you'll have the right parts.

Screw that, I just order mine with the gaskets. |
