Honda dealer.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Any good auto parts store has gasket paper. Cut out your own lower gasket. If you can save the old one you have a pattern to use. cost is under $5 for the sheet. If that's too much money try a paper grocery bag.
A sharp EXACTO knife and a little patience is all it takes.

I've gotten my OEM parts from discounthondaparts.com. CHeapest prices I've seen and got my parts in little time and they seemed to have everything I needed which is for an 83 Aero 50...

Your local auto parts store probably sells sheets of gasket material, paper and cork, I've seen the rings at BikeBandit.com, mrcycle.com and babbitsonline.com. BikeBandit had the best prices and combine shipping.
