Update on my wrong gasket:  Paul Miller sent a replacement yesterday.  Now to wait the 10 days to see what turns up!

Just got back from a break to Egypt, boy was it hot!  8)  8)  The gasket turned up while I was away :D  BUT it is not what is shown on the listing  :(.  4 of the large diameter holes for the rubber collars are not there - they are smaller diameter.  No Honda packaging came with it but it looks genuine Honda as it has the "varnish " around the chain hole and 2 of the stud holes.  I have put a photo up - the top gasket is what arrived, the bottom gasket is from the Cycle-X kit.  The top (Honda) gasket has the oval fire rings which are as per Honda, the pattern one has circular fire rings.

Does anyone have any ideas what model 750 it fits?  The part number would be helpful too.

Rob the top one is for an F2 this is the only one to have the oval rings due to them squeezing in larger valves
Where did you say you got the top one from?

Thanks Pete, now I will have to buy an F2 to use it!!  :D  I wonder if my wife will understand?  I think I know the answer to that!

The guy I got it from is Paul Miller Motorcycles in the USA (ebay name = jrwdfa)
