Need 650 head gasket Now, want OEM.
|

Does anyone have a OEM 650 head gasket I could buy and get shipped really
quickly?
I am leaving on my Glacier NP trip in 12 days and only 9 of those are
business days.
I only actually Need one gasket.
Or do you recommend a particular brand of aftermarket gasket set from
the Fleabay?
I will by a cheap set of unused aftermarket 650 head gaskets if anybody has them laying around.
But I prefer to use OEM for my head & rear cover gaskets.
(the rest I use the gaskets from a cheap 500 set from FleaBay. lol.)
I will pretty much have to do this next weekend. no other time will be available, unless i have to make time somewhere.
*merf*
I am willing to buy a set that someone has "plans" for if you have time to order new ones from Honda.
But money is an issue right now. doesn't do me much good to fix the bike and not have gas money for the trip.
FYI, Discount Honda still lists them in the fish and priced at $34.35 each.
So they should be still available.
Peace & Light

I think Larry might have a few on hand but you would have to ask.
Second thought. For a second I thought they all were the same. Damn cam chains. That's probably where I got it from since I just did a search.

Thanks.
I may have been pointed to a place to buy cut copper head gaskets for the 500 and 650 motors.
I will make a post with info if it is confirmed.

Don't do it.
Copper is a last resort if OEM or aftermarket is no longer available.
Go to Randakk's Cycle shack and see what kind of mods you have to make the the cylinder head if you use copper.
Here's a link to a copper gasket site that explains the advantages and disadvantages of copper.

Panther,
I called around to some of my local sources, but no one has it in stock.
