I used Nightingales. The were cheaper than silvers but phone around. Try Riders too and give Silvers a ring

The genuine Honda Tri Arm head gasket is a strange one - I have paid anything from £32 to £58 for a single unit - the price seems to vary for no reason.

Think of it this way - good old Honda still making these 20 plus years down the line. The Tri Arm remains my favorite bike full stop.

Shop around - some dealers may have old stock they wish to sell off ...

Hope that helps.

Cheers folks

And cheers for your email too Graeme.

Yeah the price difference is a little crazy, my first quote was £60+ :shock:

David silvers are coming in at the cheapist so far

And yep iam a big fan of the Tri arm too, i just wish we could get to the bottom of this one running on 2 :?
