says its from a european oem supplier.  :dunno_black:

just got it in the mail today...says athena all over it. good news is it covers everything you will need for a rebuild as far as gaskets go.
if no one has gotten this yet i will inform you all how they hold up once i get my frankenstein together.

:crossed fingers: i hope i didnt just buy some knock off crap that will leave me stranded.

Definitely keep us updated on the results!  I was looking at the same gasket set for my leaky, project bike.

I was looking at it, too.
I have 3 engines to rebuild and should fix Trey's tendency to mark his territory with a dribble now and then.

Nice price if it works   :thumb:

Don't know much about that kit, but Heather is really into mopeds, and Athena makes a lot big bore kits and those kinds of things, so they're probably not too bad.

Well than I shall inform everyone how it goes.  :D
Good thing I never tried to make the engine run as it was... Pulled the stator cover off the other night. Poor thing is in the beginning stage of goats. :whew: bullet dodged. So I am in need of a good used rotor? I think thats what its called  :dunno_white: better read up more james! I can a total idiot sometimes.   :icon_eek:
The price came out to 102 and some change.

Thanks for the feedback folks!

It's an Athena set. I have one for my GS450 hybrid engine. Quality looks good, everything needed appears to be there. I haven't installed it yet. $90 is a decent deal on that kit.
