favorite gasket set?

 Let's not do an oil thread but what and where to get your favorite gasket set?  w/or w/out seals. This one is stock bore for now.

CB750 K0-K6, right?
Yamiya's complete gasket set was really OK when I tried it.

I prefer Honda stock gaskets for oil pan, valve, clutch, alternator and shifter covers. Fits much better and holes are matching correctly that the cheapest kits do not. Can be reused many times (cover on-off-on-off)
Buy o-rings separate since many will be missing anyway.

76A hybrid, but yes. Thanks I'll check it out.
 Edit, I did,
 The beauty of that set is they claim original thickness on all gaskets and o rings so the over thick head gasket issue won't be there.

 I have the rubber over metal core rocker cover from cyclex. It's the berries. I may make a call to talk to cycle X, the shifter cover on the A looks like a do it yourself deal. For now I gooped it with a thin layer.
