While looking around The GS Resources webiste, I stumbled across a guy who sells o-ring kits for old bikes, but I don't know if he has what you need. Cycle O-rings.com . I've never purchased anything from him, but I'm pretty sure he's legitimate.
HarborFreight & other places sell metric nitrile o-ring kits, but I'd guess that they don't have the needed size.

If you do find a source, try to get Viton o-rings as they are resistant to the reformulated 10% ethanol gasoline.
Thats good advise!

+1 on that!
This place will let you buy single orings and they have some marked by dimension. They don't have a big selection, but might have what you need.

Part number 2402-0107....$30 for 32 different sizes and a nice case.
I've used these for all kinds of applications. They seem to hold up well with gasoline and oil.

I've bought o-rings for my gs750 from cycleorings.com , the kit he sells is for the mikuni CV series of carbs, I believe he also has a kit for VM's. Robert is a straight up guy to deal with.
I needed o-rings when I rebuilt the Keihins on my KZ and ended up using the ones from McMaster Carr.
