Never mind, being a clown. The gaskets were there. The parts list make them look big, like shaped O-Rings or something. They're a LOT smaller, like a small felt gasket with a black cover. Thanks to BCooper for your help.Changed the plugs. I forgot about the evil airbox hose, as the clamp wasn't even holding it on! Dealer was the last one that worked on it for the throttle recall. Hmmm. I "fixed" the clamp issue. Brought it up to just about where I needed it and put a proper hose clamp above it. My thinking it would stop the hose clamp from falling down while I dicked around trying to get tightened. They sure don't make life easy! Just curious. My bike is a'13, the manual I have is for a '12, and it shows formed "o ring" type gaskets between the top and bottom of the air box as well as the between the bottom and the air filter. No such animals in my bike. It looks like the top and bottom fit nicely into each other as the top has a recess into which the bottom fits nicely. The bottom also has a recess into which a raised portion of the filter fits into. I got it with 15,000 km on it a couple of years ago, and I don't think either the plugs or filter has been changed.
