ATHENA aftermarket gaskets?!?!

[hickoztrx]

i need to rebuild the top end in my bike and want to get hold of a decent gasket set... i understand yamaha is always the best option but i'm running a tight budget at the moment i have been lookin on a few different website(KEDO, ebay) and ATHENA gaskets keep comming up... they're are an italian brand but i have never heard of them and have no idea of quality... not sure if italian made gaskets are like the chinese or better?? i would like to get away with a top end parts/gaskets for around $150AU..

all help welcome
Cheers

Don't know about gaskets but they make great posters, remember the tennis girl with the balls tucked in her nicks.

Well the original was in the 70`s after all!
Oh and to keep on topic, Athena gaskets are ok, but stick to original Yamaha valve stem oil seals.
