When it comes to gaskets, I go OEM Honda if I can.  I got mine from the "Vintage Parts Desk" at Western Hills Honda. http://westernhillshondayamaha.com/Default.asp

From some of the comments I've read, Vesrah has produced feelings of contentment in some where as many consider Athena to be junk.  Don't know about Wiseco.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

As I understand it, Vesrah is factory since Vesrah was the gasket manufacturer for Honda...??? All others are poor fitting and will not do the job.

When Mike built my new engine he used all OEM Honda gaskets.  He thinks they are the best.  I agree.
