185S Gaskets

[3wheeledjunkie]

When I first got my 185S, I noticed a hole in the crankcase , near the sprocket. Obviously the previous owner had let the chain slack to much and rub the crankcase. Well,fixed ti with some JB weld but the cold has not been kind, it's starting to leak again. So i figured i'd replace the crankcase. But MotherHonda hath forsaken me. The gasket kits are no longer avaliable. so where do your guys go for your gaskets. I know of a couple through parts books, but some don't even list trikes at all. Need a reliable source with model specific parts. Versah seems to be the only manufactuer to offer complete kits, everyone else is top-end only.

Vesrah gaskets are just as good as oem in my opinion. Otherwise you can usually find nos oem kits on eBay, like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-ATC200-ATC185-ATC-200-185-185S-Gasket-Kit-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem230c2e341cQQitemZ15052 8209948QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories. That's the bottom end kit, Honda sold them as top and bottom separately I believe.
