blakeatron Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well my current one is looking like swiss cheese and is not making nice noises!The cheapest Honda one I have found is from david silvers and will be £450 with the gaskets needed.On ebay there are 2 and they are both a lot cheaper and both have had good feedback reports - £160 gets you a stainless steel set with all gaskets needed - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0291249066And £95 gets you a mild steel with most of the gaskets needed (my exhaust gasket seems ok anyway) -http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=150329141877Bearing in mind I will getting a new bike in 12-18months is spending the extra £65 for stainless worth it?Many thanksAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollazuki Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 if you are selling the bike in a few months, and want to patch it up, go steel, but Id say stainless, its also a good selling point when you get shut of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 the standard ones black? so i'd go steel, but if you were keeping it, and wanted something less maintenance then stainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakeatron Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well I went mild steel - they give it a 12 month warranty and I am hoping to be rid of this bike by then anyway!The £60 saved will help pay for my new lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I could be wrong in this case, but it's the case with most gaskets that they should be replaced if disturbed, regardless of aparent condition.Like I say could be wrong, but that was my understanding.

blakeatron Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Well it comes with most new gaskets - and the exhaust to downpipe gasket is only a few months old as I replaced it when the new can went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
