The bottom one looks faded on the paint work. Maybe because it's french ;)

Vesrah is always my first choice and NP are second. I have always rated Vesrah over the Honda set.
Athena head gaskets are crap. Always had trouble with there head gaskets and would advise anyone thinking of using athena gaskets,to order a Honda head gasket to replace the athena one. Athena head gaskets are OK on a engine that does not have good pressure.

Something is going on with the Japanese! I have always used Vesrah gaskets for engine re-builds and find them to be the best. My stock was getting low so i contacted a number of suppliers to stock up again. All my contacts came back with out of stock.
Sent a mail to Vesrah in Japan asking for the whereabouts of vesrah gaskets in the UK and Europe. The reply was that they knew of no one stocking gaskets for old CB's but, i could order from them at a cost of $110 with shipping (but, a lot of what i wanted was out of stock with them). I explained that the cost was over the top and i would get my pant's pulled down by customs and VAT.
The conversation went on and i found out that they are not making gaskets for 1970's bikes anymore. To me this is against the Japanese way of business. Have the Jap's got too big for there boots?

Or you can do the Norniron option and get some ear plugs.

I am not sure why some pipes rust and others don't. My winter hack is a 1985 GSX-R 400 and still has the original pipes with no real rust.

Piki, i would stay with the K3. The parts for the 350 are hard to find unless you get everything from the states. Are there many 350 in Spain?

Two years if not looked after. I have one customer that put's a motad on for the winter. He flushes his original pipes out with diesel and stores them in his airing cupboard. He has had them OEM pipes for 8 years now.
Theses pipes always rot from the inside out.

Welcome Josse,
You will not know for sure until you strip the bottom end. I would say that you will be looking at the bearings, Primary damper rubbers, primary chain and cam chain to be changed while you in.
You will not know what you will find until you strip it down.
