Looking for a gasket kit

Does anybody know where I could buy a complete engine gasket kit? (got a shop friend who is going to help me with the cam chain, engine out and split cases)

When I was looking for one (late last year) most motorcycle dealers were able to get them and it wasn't cheap. I only needed a top end gsket kit so ended up finding one on ebayfor $75+shipping.

Just a quick question

why are you splitting the cases exactly ?

you do know that you need NOT split them to do a cam chain?

Technically, yes. But I have a friend (who has a shop) that is willing to do the job for me in exchange for listing some stuff he has online. Also, it will give me a chance to replace the balancer shaft assembly (out of adjustments) and replace a transmission seal around the shift lever. Hell, I might even replace the alternator tensioner while I'm at it. Whole new bike for me to crash.
