    Hello,

    Restoring an XS250sp dohc custom imported in the 1990s from the japan home market to the UK. Very rare bike here in the UK and parts are unobtainable. Has anyone got one of these bikes and found a supply of cylinder head gaskets? I can find none anywhere, can get them specially made but the price is shockingly high pretty much £100 per gasket.
