Have found this EBay supplier

I think I bought a set of carby kits from them.  Have not installed yet so cannot comment.
But the price seems good.

I was thinking of getting gaskets for a 350 XL, are they no good?
 I thought their pistons were considered well worth it ?..ie 836 kit.

As a general rule never waste time on cheap carb kits that include jets. For the most part, o-rings are o-rings and paper gaskets paper gaskets, so a cheap carb gasket kit is fine. But you simply cannot trust that the jet sizes and needle profiles are correct and many an owner has gotten frustrated and sold a perfectly good bike because he couldn't get it to run right after 'rebuilding' the carbs with substandard jets that weren't the size they said they were.

Jets and needles rarely wear out, but if you need new ones take the time and spend the money on genuine Honda or Keihin parts.

Yes, the cruzinimage Honda piston kits have gotten good reviews on this forum.

Unless it's OEM Honda don't use the brass. Otherwise he is a good guy, stuff doesn't seem to be junk. I have the 836 kit for my bike and rubber hoses for another bike

Those carb kits are trash.  I would not recommend them.
