    Best source for gaskets 81 GS1100E

    Where is the best place to shop for gaskets/gasket kits? Thanks!

    To be honest - get OEM - at least the base gasket but I honestly get all of mine straight from Suzuki. Most of here like to shop with Partsoutlaw.com - a dealer in Florida

      Yep, OEM gaskets from Parts Outlaw.

      I just did that for my bike. There is no "kit" offered any more for my 850, so I had to piece together all the parts and bits. I will cost a little more than any of the aftermarket kits you will find on eBay or Amazon, but you will only have to do the job ONCE.

      I replaced all the gaskets in my engine last year, along with new rings, and used what most consider to be the best of the aftermarket gaskets, Vesrah. Had a base gasket blow out, have now replaced them all with OEM.
