1971 CB500 Head Gasket - Best Current Choice?
« on: July 10, 2015, 11:43:46 AM »
Searched but didn't find relevant current information - I have a gasket kit from David Silver Spares, which is fine for most gaskets/O-rings.  But, I want to put the best head gasket on that I can find, and suspect there is something better than what came in the kit.

Searched for OEM Honda, but doesn't seem they are out there any more.  Vesrah, same, can't seem to find one.  Looks like I can get a Cometic from Dynoman, any experience with those?  Or recommendations?

Thanks.

I have personally not used one, but I would have no worries with a Cometic from Dynoman.
Many here have used and recommend them.
