Cometic Gaskets
Bigtim:
i posted a few years back about a cometic kit that had the stud holes for the base basket in the wrong positions. I prefer the Kawi base gaskets over anything else. I don't like the paper gaskets, had 1 too many blow out on a ride. Otherwise, no complaints.

Yep, the only top end gaskets I sell are Cometic.
I sell a lot of them and never had a failure due to a bad gasket.
In every case where a customer complained (Not many) it was always improper installation or bad mating surfaces.

I believe Cometic has a part number for a standard paper base gasket (or at least a NON AFM gasket) PN: B0036012F http://www.shopengineparts.com/productdetails.aspx?emid=782&cid=127&pid=10864&vtype=Dirt&make=Kawasaki&model=KX500+E3%2c+T2%2c+R2+-+%2891-04%29&type=model
Not sure why anyone would order this.... the one in the "kits" are the AFM gaskets (PN: B0036018AFM) here: http://www.shopengineparts.com/productdetails.aspx?emid=782&cid=127&pid=10862&vtype=Dirt&make=Kawasaki&model=KX500+E3%2c+T2%2c+R2+-+%2891-04%29&type=model
Maybe this will clear things up a little bit? :-P
