Gaskets

Just got my new base gasket from a seller I've talked about before. His gaskets are the highest quality, he stands by his products and free or reasonable shipping.


This base gasket is1.75mm. $8.49 Free shipping


The alternatot gasket is 1.28mm. $7.99 + $1.49 shipping


Ignition housing gasket .53mm $5.99 + $1.69 shipping.
None of this fall apart when new crap.
There's more, a lot more. When I find a supplier or business that treats me right, I always pass it on. B)
If I get GANKED I pass it on too and put it on YELP. :evil:
BTW. I got a complement by a cutie on YELP this morning. About 40ish, blond, Hmmmm. I'll have to check it out. :whistle:

I purchased my valve cover gasket for my 550 from him last year. The first one he sent was bent in the mail by USPS. I contacted him and he sent another gasket out right away. It was nice to find an Ebay seller that stands behind their products ;)

I ordered cam cover gasket from him a few months ago. It looks good, just haven't gotten around to doing the valves on my 750 yet.
Whip it like a mule!

Same here. The postal person folded the package. :angry: Contacted him and he sent me another. I ordered a tranny gasket and he sent one for my alternator. (the one shown). He sent me the right gasket and told me to keep this one. The base gasket came in a envelope that couldn't fit in a mail box even folded. ;) I give him a five star rating. B)

Side cover gaskets okay. But I ain't using anything but OEM for the base gasket. Burn once, twice shy. No thanks.

I used one from Z1E two years ago. Leaked and fell apart. I bought it by the piece. Bought one from him last year, no leaks, still in good shape. Getting ready for my new piston that's on the way. I'm confident I will have no problems. Valve cover gaskets are just as good.
I'm sold.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWell, here's another supplier I can recommend. Ordered it Sunday, got it today. The Wiseco 10.25/1 K1015 piston and rings. $112.59 free shipping.

One more thing left is my copper head gasket. Being semi retired, money isn't flowing like it use to. One thing at a time. I'm finishing up a little project so I may be able to order it next week.




They get five stars. Also got my LED 1157's. I'll put them in tonight when it gets cooler. 112 today. We'll see how they work out.

Have to agree with you Steve, I have purchased gaskets from this guy, they are of great quality. I had bought a base gasket and ripped it pulling the cylinders back off. I contacted him and he let me come out to his warehouse and pic up replacements in person. Very nice guy.

No bait and switch with outrageous shipping like so many on eBay. Or silver dollars in his ad too. :lol:

That's my gasket guy also, been using him at least 5 yrs
All gaskets have been high quality material, accurate for hole locations and customer service top notch.
Had never bought gaskets of that quality from Z1 previously
78 KZ650SR Mine since 79
4-1 Mac Jet Hot coated since mid 80's
Dyna Coils
Saddlebags (I ain't skeered of going nowhere) :)
