• Will these gaskets fit my motorcycle's turn signals?

  Yes, these James Gaskets are designed specifically for early 3-inch bullet-style turn signals with screw-type lenses on 1973-1985 Harley-Davidson FX, FXR, and XL Sportster models. Always verify your turn signal style before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

• What material are these gaskets made from?

  These gaskets are made from .055" thick paper material, which provides reliable sealing properties for turn signal lens assemblies. This paper composition is ideal for creating weathertight seals that prevent moisture infiltration into your electrical components.

• How do I install these gaskets on my turn signals?

  Installation is straightforward: Remove the screw-type lens from your turn signal housing, carefully remove the old gasket, clean the mating surfaces, place the new James Gasket in position, and reinstall the lens with its retaining screws. Ensure the gasket sits evenly around the entire lens perimeter for proper sealing.

• Are these OEM replacement parts?

  Yes, these James Gaskets are OEM replacement parts with reference number 68481-73. They are designed to meet original equipment specifications and provide the same quality and fit as factory-original components for your classic Harley-Davidson.

• Why should I replace my turn signal gaskets?

  Over time, gaskets deteriorate from exposure to heat, moisture, and UV rays. Replacing worn gaskets prevents water from entering your turn signal housing, which can cause corrosion, electrical failures, and poor lighting performance. Regular gasket replacement is essential maintenance for vintage motorcycle restoration and preservation.

• Can I use these gaskets on other motorcycle brands?

  These gaskets are specifically engineered for Harley-Davidson 1973-1985 FX, FXR, and XL Sportster models with 3-inch bullet-style turn signals. While other vintage motorcycles may use similar designs, fitment cannot be guaranteed on non-Harley applications. Always verify compatibility with your specific motorcycle model.

• How many gaskets come in this package?

  This product listing specifies gaskets for 3-inch turn signal lenses. For details on quantity per package, please refer to the specific product SKU or contact our customer service team, as James Gaskets are typically sold in pairs or sets suitable for your motorcycle.

• Are these gaskets compatible with modern LED turn signal conversions?

  These gaskets are designed for original screw-type lens assemblies. If you're converting to LED turn signals, verify that your LED housing maintains the same 3-inch bullet-style design with screw-type lenses. Some LED conversion kits may require different gasket specifications, so check compatibility before purchasing.
