Gasket set
Gasket set
I know there are many more warm months to ride, but I'm thinking about winter repairs. My bike has a few needs for replacement gaskets. The first cylinder is leaking pretty good according to my left boot. I am thinking about getting the complete set. Top end gaskets are dry or leaking and all the o-rings look like they can use to be replaced. Where can I get the best gaskets for the best price?

Parts n' More (although I think they were out of stock the last time I checked)
And of course there are some that show up on Ebay from time to time... It's where I bought my last complete kit for $65.

Re: Gasket set
The small O-Rings are the origin of the typical cylinder head oil leaks that do boot maintenance. Smoothing the seat of these O-rings (at mine there is a visible and feelable concentric pattern from machining) might help to increase the intervals, but I unfortunately forgot about it this time again. So I have to run it for another 100000km to find out whether it helps.
It also is a good idea to use a bit sealant on the six coin-like rubber cylinder bolt caps in case they are a somewhat older (like e.g. 25 years ).

Re: Gasket set
I found the interval is about 25tkm (when it starts a bit) to 40tkm (when you do not need shoe-polish any more ).
It is recommendable to use high quality O-rings at this location. I use Viton (tm) which I buy separately. It is adressed to have a high temperature digestibility.

So I"m the high bidder for $30US. I know, with 3 days left to bid I have exhibited a poor ebay strategy. Oh well, I've got some time to get a good deal on the set
I will take some nice photos when I pull the engine apart, but some of the gaskets are, well, barely there. What is left is rather hard.

I don't know if you can get them from Honda, but you can get one from David Silver Spares or Bitzforbikes in UK. And from http://www.mrcycles.com/ in USA.

I also would expect that as two different carb types (piston and CV) are available.
If however carb gaskets should be included, check out whether they are the ones you need.
