The RD and Big Twin carbs don’t have a seal or gasket on the nozzle. It’s a machined fit.
Here’s a parts manual for you.
Well, that’s strange. I had a parts list when I did my RD restoration last year and saw in the carb diagram there was no seal or gasket on the nozzle. But when I took my carb apart, there was a gasket on the nozzle and it took a new gasket for the carb bowl and upper body to seal up together.
