I have used them all I think. None seemed to be any better than others.

OEM likely fits best, and contains ALL gaskets, o-rings, pump washers, etc. I don't see any currently on ebay, but they turn up from time to time, and come both "carded" (flat) or in a box.

I think Vesrah is O.E.M. - It is quality stuff. (I don't work for Vesrah!!)

Cometic carries head, base and clutch gaskets. I don't use any other on the dragbikes so not sure what else they carry.

If the head gaskets are still "crinkled edged" (as in the past) I suggest you anneal them before using.

you made the right choice :thumbup: - I just hate all the Green gaskets made in Italy, or the Blue Ones from Taiwain - they look so ugly on a fresh motor! - The vesrahs are good quality and the original colour :thumbup:

Vesrah is best, and is OEM quality, Versrah made the ones Kawasaki sold.

Too bad Moose Racing doesn't make gaskets for uor triples, their dirt bike gaskets are top notch.

Cometic, and especially Athena are just plain junk.
