Head Gasket Discontinued?

[mcycle-nut]

I am doing a sloooooow head rebuild on my 750 and was informed by the local Suzuki dealer that the head gasket was discontinued! Is this true, or are these guys just clowns? Remember, I live in Canada, so they might be available elsewhere. Don't worry, I've orderded an aftermarket gasket set, which comes with a head gasket. I just find it hard to believe that something as common as a head gasket is discontinued, but little rubber pieces that go on the frame are still available!

Probably not discontinued but superceded so, yeah, those parts guys are dolts.

Discontinued at the dealer likely means Suzuki is no longer manufacturing new ones so they cant figure out how to cross reference and order from another source. Head gaskets are available for any of the GS 750 models rather easily if you can find a counter clown that can read. LOL
