I removed the engine covers to have them sand blasted. the old gaskets look relatively new. I just got this bike a few months ago with little info about what has been tuned and replaced, etc. Can I keep the gaskets or should I replace them? I found this kit to replace them: Gasket Set-Ebay

Good buy or not a good buy to replace my engine covers?

I tried to get a valve cover gasket from him, I tried 2 times.
They both arrived bent in half and broken.
I would look for a brand name gasket set, his are junk!!!
I have photos to prove it.

I wondered about the quality of them. Where is another good place to buy the set?

I got excellent quality carb bowl gaskets and cam cover gaskets from this seller, this spring. Delivery was very fast. No problems at all, hell his ebay feedback is like 98 per cent, wouldn't be that if you're selling junk :blink:

You had good dealings with the ebay seller I am inquiring about? If so I may try it out.

Yes I had no problem at all with that seller, also the gasket material is very good quality...
