Default Arai valve seals vs. NOK

Hey I need to change my valve seals soon and I heard alot about the current OEM honda valve seals made by NOK being prone to leaking prematurely. I heard they used to be made by Arai and they were much better. Apparently you can no longer get the Arai ones from the dealership, any other place where thay can be found? Thanks guys.

Peter

PS - if anyone works at a dealership and can either confirm or deny these rumors please chime in.

I don't think they are available separately,only in the head sets.I have not been able to find an individual part number.
