If it is OEM, then you're good to go. Different parts have different brand preferences. For timing belts and other ancillaries, I will always choose OEM or Gates if available. In a lot of cases, OEM usually = Gates. Buy the stuff in your link with confidence.

IMHO Continental makes a good kit for CB7's as well as GMB and both are far less costly then $195

I'd avoid random kits. Buy your parts directly from Honda. It may cost more, but that's not something you want to screw around with.

I still laugh at those who need " Honda " only parts lots of aftermarket made stuff is as good if not better then OEM parts . I have used Continental before and it was a high quality kit for less then the $195 the OP was looking at. I would be worried about buying some cheap tires and worried about buying cheap suspension parts that are not at O.E. spec in terms of quality or fitment. But timing belts are just belts and decent rubber that isn't old is just gonna work fine if installed right IMHO.

But when an OEM is only a few bucks more, is it worth the chance?

The last thing I'd take a chance with would be a timing belt. Not knocking Continental in particular, we just don't get that part here so I know nothing about it. But for someone who doesn't know much about building engines, I'd ask them to stick with OEM parts in most cases.

I bought and used it as well as had a Volvo technician say he thought belt and kit period was high quality and easy to install. If that isn't saying something I don't know what else does. Honda builds cars not parts......
