The quality of his gaskets are very good. I have bought carburetor gaskets and engine gaskets from him. But if someone is really good and has what you want it is this guy. His stuff is fantastic and really cheap. His selection and stuff is a bit eclectic, but quality is the best.

Unfortunately the KZ550 has those TK carbs and individual gaskets are next to impossible to find. When I posted that link. he did not yet state it was a 81 KZ550.

Here's a trick for cutting out your own precision gaskets.
Choose the appropriate gasket material and get a piece of cereal box type cardboard and a can of paint that brightly contrasts to gasket material.
Layout gasket material and cardboard side by side, put a good even light coat of paint on cardboard. Take your part to be gasketed and press it lightly against wet paint on cardboard, then press the part down on gasket material sheet.
Works much the same as an old fashioned ink stamp pad, transferring image. In some cases you can actually use an ink stamp pad, if the ink's color will show up; those available at any stationary store.
Exacto knife does the rest! Simple to clean the paint or ink off parts before reassembly. Sometimes helps to trace around the cleaned part with Exacto knife while it's sitting on gasket to get the initial outline, depends on gasket type & material.
