Going on a trip and the gasket I ordered forever ago isn't going to be here in time.

In the absence of the accurately die-cut and very thin CA-cycleworks gasket, I'd go with ThreeBond 1194 or equivalent.

I love DIY as much as the next guy, but making large complex gaskets sounds like quite a nuisance.

I'm assuming this is the accessory case to main case gasket - not the rubber one for the dry clutch cover. If it's for the big bits, Ducati uses a sealant and the shop that helped me with a leak dis as well. Looks to be the ThreeBond 1194 - grey rubbery. The 1194 seems to fit the bill.

Just remember that you only need a thin bead - don't goop it on. And remember to circle any bolt holes - not just going on one side or the other

I'm really need the big rubber gasket for the clutch cover. It will be at my door when I get back from my trip but since I'll be on the road for 8 days (2500 plus miles) I was hoping for a little less clutch noise. I made one out of 2 pieces of cork gasket material and it seems to work fine. I'm a little nervous about the heat. I was thinking about taking it off and putting a bead of high temp RTV on the cover letting it setup then installing it so I don't get goo on the clutch plates.

The rubber one has brass spacers built in - be sure you have enough clear space if you DIY something.

On my cover the spacers seem to be attached on all but the 2 bigger holes. I think what I have works I'm just a little worried about and heat and the cork. I guess I just watch for smoke Smiley

I would use home faucet washers the same or a little thicker than the original gasket and call it a day.  The open space will allow venting of the clutch (good).  It will be noisier though.  Since the clutch plates are new the noise level shouldn't be that high.

Do you really even need a gasket there? Other than to keep crude out.

No, but the cover does need to be spaced out

Just so you know if you make a gasket out of cork it won't catch fire. It works great but now that my real gasket is in (it was waiting for me when I got back from my trip) I'll be back to Ducati approved rubber.
