Default Head gasket issue cbr600 f3

Can anybody send me a link to the correct head gasket for a 95-98 f3? I’ve heard they are a 65mm bore size but every website I go on says 67mm. Would the 67mm work? Also should I get the head decked or leave it? If someone has some insight on this it would be appreciated!

Here's info on bore & stroke for your bike: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBR600F

More info on head-gaskets from Google search.

First measure flatness of deck and head.

IF +/- variation is larger than tolerances listed in service manual, then YES send them in to be decked. Be sure to get number from machine-shop on how much material was removed. Then add that thickness to headgasket to get thicker one to make up that difference.

That will maintain factory compression-ratio and more importantly, cam timing.
