You should find that the two black (prob) carbon looking gaskets will be removeable from the original pipes and slide into your new link pipes. Slide your old cans off and inside your old connecting pipes or still stuck on the header pipes should be the gaskets. I have swapped cans and pipes at least 4 times and they still seal ok.

hmmnn, my Scorpions utilised the original gaskets. Suppose it depends on age and type, Balls, if you have any probs post us piccies. One of us will have come across your type of gasket I would guess.

as everyone has said the link pipes will either use the carbon cylinder type gaskets that the origional system uses or if they are a snug fit then a jointing past is all you will need, i use silicone kitchen sealer on mine, you will need two of the ring type gaskets for the pipes to the headers if you take the full system off the bike, these are £5-10 from honda and the other type are £10-15 if i remember rightly.
