i haven't used there kit but i have seen it,    and as a basic rule of thumb   
 
EVERYTHING cyclex makes is top notch as far as quality,  they don't have sub-par anything.

It is an Emgo gasket kit. From what I can tell it does have everything. One problem I found with mine so far is that the gasket for the starter cover is too small. It's about a quarter inch too short lengthwise. Other than that, it appears to be pretty good so far.

I'd like to revisit this topic....

I'm looking for a full gasket set for a 750K3

How has this kit worked out for those of you who bought it???

Cool

So no problems w/ the head gasket?
That's the one that always seems to have issues...

Thought maybe using CycleX kit w/ a Cometic head gasket would be the way to go but if the CX stuff is OK then there's no need to spend the extra $45.

Just copper coat the gasket with Permatex copper coat, I didn't use the head gasket in the kit because I am running the 850 big bore kit, I don't see a problem with the head gasket though.
