Ebay gaskets?

[tnahvu]

I'm having a tough time finding complete gasket set for my 75 CB200. I've only managed to find an OEM top and lower set on ebay, but fear I might not win. The alternative would be to buy this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CB200-CL200-Complete-Gasket-Set-01-1042-/160701855850?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item256a93b86a&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1298

Anyone has any experiences with it? Is it any good? I'm a total rookie, so forgive me.

What about copper gaskets? How much better are they and where can I get them for something like my CB200. I've searched and asked, but haven't gotten too much luck. My local bike shop wants to charge me an arm and leg to cut custom gaskets.

Thanks!

Copper Gaskets are BAD

Do not use copper gaskets on a bike. Do not use copper gaskets on any vehicle whose engine parts are made from aluminum.

Sometimes you don't have a choice.
