    I picked up a complete overhaul set on Ebay a couple of years ago. May not be the way you want to go but if you keep and eye out they turn up every now and then.

            jwhelan65............if you're looking for just the lower crankcase gaskets such as the stator and clutch covers you could make your own quite easily.
            Get yourself some gasket paper from an auto parts store outlet and go to it.
            In fact, if you really want to go cheap cheap cheap you can even use a cereal box cardboard (or similar)for gasket material. You may want to use just a touch of sealant for insurance if you go that route........but it will work just as well in a pinch.

              I made a stator cover gasket for my 850 because I didn't want to wait on the dealer. Took me all of 15 minuets. It helps if you have the old gasket as a pattern. Trace it out and then cut out the gasket with some scissors. To cut the bolt holes, use a hand held paper hole punch. Very simple.

                That used to be the case with cheap gasket sets made in Vietnam, China etc. Always worth looking at what those guys have for breakfast

                  Ive used the cork gasket material that Autozone and various other auto parts places sell. Comes in a roll, and isnt all that expensive. Ive even made a valve cover gasket using only the cover itself for a template. A little time consuming and tedious, but it has worked like a charm, not a leak yet. Ive had pretty good luck with various gaskets ive made, some have worked even better than the Vesrah supplied ones!
