cometic gasket kit?
cometic gasket kit?
I was wondering about how good is the cometic gasket kit (cylinder). I will be performing my first piston change since new(1997). Still have super compresion but lately I have use the bike more often. Thinking of staying oem with everything(piston, gaskets,)The bike should be around 60-80 hrs of use in its lifetime.

the cometic intake and exh are superior to oem, the head gasket is similar, with the exception of it beeing larger bore, so if you go 89.5+ the gasket doesnt hang into the cyl and hotspot
