Source for CX650C gaskets?
Well, it appears that I've blown a head gasket on my CX650C. So far, the only vendor for such a gasket is one I've found in POLAND! Anyone know of another source or have you done business with this vendor(italianmotorcycles) in Poland? A whole gasket kit is only $65. Nice price, but I'm only concerned about Quality of their kit. Thanks for any help/input.

A quick google search led me here

Have not done business personally, but a search of the company seems to lead to good reviews..

My Google search didn't bring these folks up. Must not have used the right word? Never heard of them, but sure worth a try! Thankyou very much! Will let everyone know what the end result is, when the time comes.irishcarbomb wrote:A quick google search led me here

Re: Source for CX650C gaskets?
Go to your local Honda dealer and get original Honda head gaskets. There are places online where you can get genuine ones but By the time you pay for shipping and wait for them to arrive you are better off supporting the local guy so that he will still be there when you need him.
The consensus on cx500forum.com is that everything else in the aftermarket sets is fine and a set costs about what the 2 big gaskets cost from Honda so the price is still good even if you toss the head gaskets.
Personally, I buy head gaskets from the dealer and cut everything else from 0.8mm gasket sheet.

Re: Source for CX650C gaskets?
Waited near two months for Disaster motors to get in new gasket sets. Finally ordered a set from KLASA in Poland on Dec.15. They shipped the next day, same day that I get a call from Disaster saying he has them in stock now. The set from Poland is ISO9001 certified, look to be complete and good quality. Couldn't tell you for sure who/where made.
The set from Poland arrived today, but now it's COLD in the shop and other projects moved to the front of the line. If I live another 20yrs and don't take on anymore "projects", I'll git er done. I really like riding the CX650C!
