Carb isolator O-ring

I recently purchased isolators for my gl650 off of the Bay. They did not come with o-rings and I need to find to accomplish repair.
Due to the high heat from the head what does the group suggest.
What have others used successfully, and where to source parts?
Other small repairs needed also, carb synch, etc. but this will need to be done first.
I have been to the local stealer several times, but the people behind the counter get a glazed look in their eyes when I ask for parts for my bike.
thanks

A standard Buna N o-ring will work. You should be able to find something at the auto parts store, hardware store, or a bearing supply house.

I'm pretty sure the size you need is (US Standard) #130.  While some materials will withstand higher heat, the 250°f rating of buna-N should be fine.

I was able to find the part number for the o-ring in the isolator.
91325-413-830, and you need one for each side.
This is the first part that my local stealer had for my gl650. Reasonable cost also.
