Gasket Set Brands????
« on: November 14, 2005, 10:10:54 PM »
What brands of gasket kits are worth a damn? I've seen Athena on Old Bike Barn as an OEM supplier. Do the kits you get from Honda actually say "Honda" on them? I know the cheapies are bad news, but the prices on some "OEM" kits aren't too bad.

There have been many threads on this subject in the past - but we've never collected them for a FAQ.

This time I will...

      I've bought sets from a local Honda shop(Vesrah) and from partsnmore.com(Athena). Didn't notice a difference in "quality", but partsnmore was definitely cheaper and you get the complete set, top and bottom end.
