HI,
     Got one from "Cruisin Image" of Japan, via Ebay, its for the 466cc but as close as not matters for the 460cc, only 10 days coming and pretty decent on cost--------Ken

Hi,
     I had the same answer from them-non commital, but would say suzuki recommend its correct sized/rated suzuki o-ring to fit a Honda-no. All I can say is that the dimensions and thickness are OK, and If it does not work for you, I will donate my home made solid copper gasket (5,000 miles and no trouble) to your cause, as I am rebuilding with the one from Japan.
     PS I have been told their piston rings also will fit with a little end clearance adjustment, and the 466cc kit will come in handy if the yoshi piston/ bores wear

Hi Tommy,
