Welcome, check out the "links" section in the forum. I think Bike Bandit or Cycle Parts Nation will get you where you need to be. Both of these sites have gaskets for the 16 valve 750, happy shopping and safe riding!

Suzuki discontinued the complete gasket kit for that model. Your only choice seems to be to piece together the kit by ordering the individual pieces or buying an aftermarket gasket kit (which tend to be crap).

I'll second the aftermarket gaskets being crap

Hi Mr. bigsy41,

Both the Vesrah and Athena kits leave something to be desired, according to those that have used both. OEM Suzuki gaskets are much better quality. They may cost a bit more, but you won't have to do the job again.

Although loads of people report trouble with pattern gasket sets I must be the odd one out / lucky one. I've been using them for years (often it's all we've got) and apart from a few very minor 'doesn't quite fit, needs the holes making bigger' issues I've never had a problem.

I assume you're in the UK. If so try these guys - they've got it listed.
