Cylinder Base Gaskets / Cylinder O-Rings
In addition to the gaskets
shown below, which are by far the most commonly used,
we carry other base gaskets
for specific uses, and we can order a large variety
of different gaskets for
special applications.........Just ask!!
| 2 types of cylinder base gaskets to cover 95% of all
street applications........
Top: Stock-type gasket for all 1973 thru 1980 900 & 1000 models......Quality equal to or better than OEM Kaw for less than half the price......... Bottom: Performance-type .020 thick gasket has superior sealing capability, and will work on 1000cc (70mm) bore cylinders up to 1260cc (78mm) bore cylinders, and has a sleeve opening of 3.200"......Note:While these are excellent gaskets for stock 1000cc applications, they do extend outward slightly past the upper case / cyl. base joint when mounted, and may not satisfy those doing a concours restoration due to the slight difference in appearance....
