    ebay gasket sets?

    Anyone bought gasket sets off of ebay that were any good? there are some great prices, but I don't want to sacrifice quality. What gasket sets have been good to you?

    I bought OEM as I couldn't find gasket sets. If you search through the archives, as this discussion as been had ad nauseam, you'll find most folks recommend to use OEM for the base and head gaskets. Depending on the bike, you might get away with aftermarket for the valve cover but even that is not guaranteed.

      Sometimes you can find OEM gaskets on ebay, a lot cheaper. Which gaskets do you need? For some easy to replace ones, like a clutch cover, stator cover, I'll try anything. No big deal if it fails. Cylinder base gasket, only OEM for me.
